Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to gather or to envelop.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew word אֵד. However, the concept of mist or vapor can be related to Greek terms that describe similar phenomena, such as ἀτμίς (atmís) • Strong's Greek Number 822, which means vapor or steam. Usage: The term אֵד is used in the context of a mist or vapor that rises from the earth, often associated with the watering of the ground. Context: The Hebrew word אֵד (ed) appears in the Old Testament to describe a natural phenomenon involving moisture. It is notably used in Genesis 2:6, where it describes a mist that rises from the earth to water the whole surface of the ground. This mist is part of the pre-flood environment described in the creation narrative, indicating a unique method of irrigation before the advent of rain. The concept of אֵד is significant in understanding the early chapters of Genesis, as it provides insight into the antediluvian world and the divine provision for sustaining life. The use of אֵד in the text underscores the completeness and sufficiency of God's creation, where even the watering of the earth is meticulously orchestrated.
