Strong's Lexicon odoth: Testimonies, Witnesses Original Word: אוֹדוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּד (ud), which means "to bear witness" or "to testify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is μαρτυρία (martyria), which also means testimony or witness. This term is used in contexts such as John 5:39, where Jesus speaks of the Scriptures bearing witness to Him. Usage: The term "odoth" refers to testimonies or witnesses, often in the context of legal or covenantal settings. It is used to describe the act of bearing witness or the testimonies that serve as evidence or proof of a covenant or agreement. In the biblical context, it frequently relates to the testimonies of God's laws and decrees, which serve as a witness to His covenant with His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, testimonies were crucial in legal proceedings and covenantal relationships. The concept of bearing witness was deeply embedded in the culture, as it was essential for maintaining justice and truth. The testimonies of God's laws were seen as divine witnesses to His covenant with Israel, serving as a constant reminder of their obligations and relationship with God.
