Usage: The word "eder" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something of great size or magnificence, often in the context of clothing or appearance that signifies honor or glory. Context: The Hebrew word אֶדֶר (eder) appears in the Old Testament to express concepts of grandeur and splendor. It is often associated with garments or mantles that symbolize authority and dignity. For instance, in Zechariah 11:3, the term is used metaphorically to describe the majestic sound of the shepherds' lament, indicating the loss of something grand. The word captures the essence of something that is not only physically large or impressive but also carries a sense of nobility and honor. In the cultural context of the ancient Near East, clothing and appearance were significant indicators of one's status and role in society, and "eder" reflects this cultural understanding by emphasizing the visual and symbolic aspects of splendor.
