Strong's Lexicon mad or med: Measure, garment, cloak Original Word: מַד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to measure Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3358 μέτρον (metron) - measure - G2440 ἱμάτιον (himation) - garment, cloak Usage: The Hebrew word "mad" or "med" primarily refers to a measure or a garment. In the context of clothing, it denotes a specific type of garment or cloak, often associated with a particular function or status. The term can also imply the concept of measurement, indicating a standard or unit used for quantifying. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, garments were significant not only for their practical use but also for their symbolic meanings. Clothing could indicate one's social status, profession, or role within the community. The concept of measurement was crucial in various aspects of daily life, including trade, construction, and religious practices. Accurate measurements were essential for fairness and justice, reflecting the broader biblical theme of righteousness.
