Original Word: נִיד

Pronunciation: need
Phonetic Spelling: (need)
Definition: Wandering, exile, fugitive, lamentation

Word Origin: From the root נוּד (nud), which means to wander, flee, or show grief.

- G3941 (παροικία, paroikia) - meaning sojourning or dwelling in a foreign land.

Usage: The Hebrew word "נִיד" (nid) primarily conveys the concept of wandering or being in a state of exile. It can also imply a sense of lamentation or mourning, reflecting the emotional and physical displacement experienced by those who are exiled or fugitives. This term is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are removed from their homeland or are in a state of instability and uncertainty.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, being in a state of "נִיד" (nid) was often seen as a consequence of divine judgment or a result of social and political upheaval. The concept of exile was deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of the Israelites, particularly due to significant historical events such as the Babylonian Exile. This state of wandering was not only a physical displacement but also carried spiritual and emotional connotations, as it often involved separation from the land that was central to their identity and covenant with God.
