Strong's Lexicon morad: Descent, slope, decline Original Word: מוֹרָד Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַד (yarad), meaning "to go down" or "descend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "morad," the concept of descent or decline can be related to Greek words like καταβάσις (katabasis), meaning "descent" or "going down." Usage: The Hebrew word "morad" refers to a physical descent or slope, often used to describe a geographical feature such as a hill or valley. It can also metaphorically imply a decline or downward movement in a broader sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the topography of the land was significant for travel, agriculture, and military strategy. Descents or slopes were common in the hilly and mountainous regions of Israel and surrounding areas. Understanding the terrain was crucial for daily life, as it affected everything from the movement of people and goods to the outcomes of battles.
