Strong's Lexicon eder: Flock, herd Original Word: עֵדֶר Word Origin: From the root עָדַר (adar), meaning "to arrange" or "to muster." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4167 (ποιμνίον, poimnion) - Flock - G4168 (ποίμνη, poimnē) - Flock Usage: The Hebrew word "eder" primarily refers to a group of animals, typically sheep or goats, that are herded together. It is used in the Bible to describe the collective grouping of livestock, often under the care of a shepherd. The term can also metaphorically represent a group of people, particularly in contexts where leadership and guidance are emphasized. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, flocks and herds were vital to the agrarian economy and daily life. They provided food, clothing, and sacrificial animals for religious practices. Shepherding was a common occupation, and the imagery of a shepherd caring for a flock is frequently used in the Bible to illustrate God's relationship with His people. The pastoral lifestyle was deeply ingrained in the culture, and the management of flocks was a skill passed down through generations.
