These Greek terms capture the essence of unity and collective association similar to the Hebrew מַעֲדַנָּה. Usage: This word is used in the context of describing a collective or a group bound together, often in a figurative sense. It is not frequently found in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a specific and nuanced application. Context: • מַעֲדַנָּה (ma'adannah) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term that signifies a bond or group, suggesting a form of unity or association. The root עָדַן (adan) from which it is derived carries connotations of delight and softness, which may imply that the bond or group is formed through pleasant or agreeable means. This term is used to describe connections that are not merely physical but also relational or covenantal in nature. The concept of מַעֲדַנָּה can be seen as reflecting the broader biblical theme of community and fellowship, where individuals are brought together in harmonious relationships. The usage of this term underscores the importance of unity and collective identity within the biblical narrative.
