Strong's Lexicon Obed Edom: Obed Edom Original Word: עֹבֵד אֱדוֹם Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֹבֵד (obed) meaning "servant" or "worshiper" and אֱדוֹם (edom) meaning "Edom" or "red." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Obed Edom, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of a "servant" or "worshiper" can be related to Greek terms like δοῦλος (doulos) meaning "servant" or "slave." Usage: Obed Edom is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "servant of Edom" or "worshiper of Edom." The name is associated with a Levite who played a significant role in the care of the Ark of the Covenant. Cultural and Historical Background: Obed Edom is a notable figure in the context of the Ark of the Covenant's journey to Jerusalem. During King David's reign, the Ark was being transported to Jerusalem when Uzzah was struck dead for touching it. In response, David temporarily placed the Ark in the house of Obed Edom, a Levite from the Gittite clan. The Ark remained there for three months, during which time the household of Obed Edom was blessed by God. This event underscores the sacredness of the Ark and the blessings associated with its presence.
