Strong's Lexicon madon: Strife, contention, dispute Original Word: מָדוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּן (dun), meaning to judge or contend. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2054 (ἔρις, eris): Meaning strife or contention, used in the New Testament to describe similar concepts of discord and conflict. Usage: The Hebrew word "madon" refers to a state of conflict or disagreement, often characterized by verbal disputes or quarrels. It is used in the Old Testament to describe situations of discord and contention among individuals or groups. The term conveys a sense of ongoing conflict rather than a single instance of disagreement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, as in many ancient cultures, maintaining harmony within the community was crucial. Strife and contention were seen as disruptive forces that could lead to division and weaken the social fabric. The wisdom literature, particularly the Book of Proverbs, frequently addresses the dangers of strife and the value of peace and unity. In a tribal and communal setting, resolving disputes was essential for the well-being and survival of the community.
