Strong's Lexicon abad: To work, serve, labor, worship Original Word: עֲבַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1398 (douleuō): To serve, to be a slave - G3000 (latreuō): To serve, to worship Usage: The Hebrew verb "abad" primarily means to work or serve. It encompasses a range of activities from physical labor to acts of worship. In the context of servitude, it can refer to both voluntary service and forced labor. The term is also used in a religious sense, indicating the worship and service of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, "abad" was a fundamental concept reflecting the agrarian lifestyle where work and service were integral to daily life. The Israelites were often reminded of their past servitude in Egypt, which shaped their understanding of service to God as a form of worship and gratitude. The concept of "abad" also extended to the covenant relationship between God and His people, where serving God was seen as a response to His deliverance and provision.
