Strong's Lexicon ad: Until, as far as, up to, while, during Original Word: עַד Word Origin: A primitive particle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2193 (ἕως, heōs) – until, up to - G891 (ἄχρι, achri) – until, as far as Usage: The Hebrew word "עַד" (ad) is a versatile term used primarily as a preposition or adverb to denote time or space. It conveys the idea of continuity or duration, often translated as "until" or "as far as." It can also indicate a limit or boundary, whether temporal or spatial. In some contexts, it functions as a conjunction to connect clauses, emphasizing the duration or extent of an action or state. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of time and space was often fluid and relational rather than fixed and absolute. The use of "עַד" reflects this understanding, as it frequently marks the transition or boundary between different periods or locations. This word is integral in covenantal language, where it underscores the enduring nature of God's promises and the expected faithfulness of His people.
