Strong's Lexicon eduth: Testimony, Witness, Ordinance Original Word: עֵדוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּד (ud), meaning "to bear witness" or "to testify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3142 (μαρτυρία, martyria) - Testimony, witness - G3144 (μάρτυς, martys) - Witness Usage: The Hebrew word "eduth" primarily refers to a testimony or witness. In the context of the Bible, it often denotes the testimony of God's covenant, laws, and decrees given to the Israelites. It is used to describe the tablets of the Law, the Ark of the Covenant, and other divine ordinances that serve as a witness to God's relationship with His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, a testimony was a solemn declaration of truth, often associated with legal and covenantal contexts. The concept of "eduth" is deeply embedded in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where the Law served as a witness to the terms of the covenant. The Ark of the Covenant, often referred to as the "Ark of the Testimony," housed the tablets of the Law and symbolized God's presence and His covenant with Israel.
