Berean Strong's Lexicon nod: Wandering, exile, fugitive Original Word: נוֹד Word Origin: From the root נוּד (nud), which means to wander or to flee. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of wandering or exile can be related to Greek terms such as πλάνη (planē - G4106), meaning error or wandering, and φυγάς (phugas - G5437), meaning fugitive or exile. Usage: The term "nod" is used to describe a state of wandering or being a fugitive. It conveys the idea of restlessness and being without a permanent home. In the biblical context, it often implies a sense of divine judgment or consequence, as seen in the account of Cain. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, being a wanderer or fugitive was often seen as a curse or punishment. Stability and land ownership were highly valued, and to be without a home was to be without security or identity. The concept of "nod" reflects the broader biblical theme of exile and the human condition of being separated from God's intended place of rest and blessing.
