Word Origin: Derived from the root verb דּוּד (dud), which means to move gently, glide, or fly.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 4072: πτήσις (ptēsis) • meaning "flight" or "flying."
Strong's Greek Number 4422: πτερόν (pteron) • meaning "wing" or "feather," often used in the context of flight.

These Greek terms similarly capture the essence of movement through the air, aligning with the Hebrew concept of מִדַּד (midad) as a representation of flight or gliding.

Usage: The word מִדַּד (midad) is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible. It is typically associated with the concept of flight or a smooth, gliding motion, often metaphorically describing the movement of birds or other creatures.

Context: מִדַּד (midad) is a Hebrew noun that conveys the idea of flight or gliding. It is derived from the root דּוּד (dud), which suggests a gentle or smooth movement. This term is used to describe the graceful and effortless motion often associated with birds in flight. In the biblical context, מִדַּד (midad) can be seen as a metaphor for freedom, escape, or the natural order of creation, where creatures move according to their God-given abilities. The imagery of flight in the Bible often symbolizes liberation, divine protection, or the swiftness of God's intervention. While מִדַּד (midad) itself is not extensively used, its conceptual significance is echoed in various passages that highlight the beauty and majesty of creation.
