Strong's Lexicon aden or adenah: "Yet," "still," "now," "at this time" Original Word: עֲדֶן Word Origin: Derived from the root אָדַן (adan), which is related to the concept of permanence or continuance. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar sense of continuity or persistence is often expressed with words like ἔτι (eti), meaning "still" or "yet," as seen in passages like Hebrews 11:4. Usage: The Hebrew word "aden" or "adenah" is used as an adverb to denote a sense of continuation or persistence in time. It often conveys the idea of something that is ongoing or still happening. In the context of Scripture, it can emphasize the enduring nature of a situation or the persistence of a condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of time and continuity was significant, especially in relation to God's promises and the unfolding of His plans. The use of "aden" or "adenah" in the Hebrew Bible reflects a worldview that sees history as a continuum under God's sovereign control. This perspective is evident in the narratives and prophecies where God's faithfulness and the persistence of His covenant are highlighted.
