Strong's Lexicon nedad: To flee, to wander, to move to and fro Original Word: נֵדַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nedad," the concept of wandering or fleeing can be found in Greek words such as "φεύγω" (pheugō - to flee) and "πλανώμενος" (planōmenos - wandering). Usage: The Hebrew verb "nedad" primarily conveys the idea of fleeing or wandering. It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are moving away from a place, either due to fear, divine judgment, or as a part of their nomadic lifestyle. The term can also imply a sense of restlessness or instability, reflecting a lack of a permanent home or settled state. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of wandering or fleeing was a common experience due to various factors such as warfare, famine, or divine judgment. The Israelites, for instance, experienced periods of wandering, most notably during their 40 years in the wilderness. This nomadic lifestyle was not only a physical journey but also a spiritual metaphor for their relationship with God, highlighting themes of trust, obedience, and reliance on divine provision.
