Berean Strong's Lexicon yeda: Knowledge, understanding Original Word: יְדַע Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָדַע (yada), meaning "to know." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1108 (γνῶσις, gnosis) - knowledge - G1922 (ἐπίγνωσις, epignosis) - full knowledge, discernment Usage: The Hebrew word "yeda" refers to knowledge or understanding, often implying a deep, intimate, and experiential comprehension rather than mere intellectual awareness. It is used in contexts that emphasize the importance of knowing God, His laws, and His ways. This knowledge is not just factual but relational, involving a personal connection and commitment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, knowledge was highly valued and was seen as a gift from God. It was not just about acquiring information but about living in accordance with God's will. The Hebrew concept of knowledge often involved a holistic understanding that included moral and spiritual dimensions. In the biblical context, to "know" God was to be in a covenant relationship with Him, characterized by faithfulness and obedience.
