Strong's Lexicon bad: Part, portion, alone, apart, branch, pole Original Word: בּד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be separate Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3441 (μόνος, monos): Alone, only, solitary - G3307 (μερίζω, merizō): To divide, separate, distribute Usage: The Hebrew word "בַּד" (bad) is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, primarily to denote separation or singularity. It can refer to being alone or apart, as well as to physical objects like branches or poles. The term is often used to describe the poles used to carry the Ark of the Covenant, emphasizing their function as separate, distinct parts used for a holy purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of separation was significant, both in terms of physical objects and spiritual practices. The use of "בַּד" in the context of the Ark of the Covenant highlights the importance of holiness and the need for separation from the common or profane. The poles (badim) used to carry the Ark were a practical necessity, but they also symbolized the sacredness of the Ark and the need for it to be set apart from ordinary use.
