Strong's Lexicon enedron: Ambush, Lying in Wait Original Word: ἐνέδρα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐνδρεύω (endreuō), meaning "to lie in wait" or "to ambush." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of ambush is מַאֲרָב (ma'arav), Strong's Hebrew #3993, which also denotes a place of ambush or a trap. Usage: The term "enedron" refers to a strategic position of concealment with the intent to surprise or attack an unsuspecting target. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the deceitful and treacherous actions of individuals or groups who plot harm against others. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient warfare and hunting, ambushes were common tactics used to gain an advantage over an enemy or prey. The concept of lying in wait was well understood in the Greco-Roman world, where military strategy often involved surprise attacks. This imagery is used in the New Testament to convey the cunning and malicious intent of those who oppose the righteous. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for enedra, q.v.
