These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of causation and reason as אוֹדוֹת (odot) does in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The word אוֹדוֹת appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the reason or cause for an action or event. It is used in contexts where an explanation or justification is provided. Context: אוֹדוֹת (odot) is a Hebrew term that appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, primarily to express causation or reason. It is often translated into English as "because of," "on account of," or "concerning." This word is used to provide explanations or justifications for actions, events, or conditions. For example, in Genesis 21:11, the term is used to express Abraham's distress concerning his son Ishmael: "Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because of his son." Here, אוֹדוֹת (odot) is translated as "because of," indicating the reason for Abraham's distress.
