Strong's Lexicon uwd: To bear witness, to testify, to admonish, to call to witness Original Word: עוּד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3140 (μαρτυρέω, martureo): To bear witness, to testify - G3141 (μαρτυρία, marturia): Testimony, witness Usage: The Hebrew verb "uwd" primarily means to bear witness or to testify. It is often used in contexts where a person is called to affirm the truth of a statement or event, either as a witness or through admonition. The term can also imply a sense of warning or exhortation, where the witness serves as a reminder or a call to accountability. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of bearing witness was integral to maintaining justice and truth within the community. Witnesses were crucial in legal proceedings, and their testimonies could determine the outcome of a case. The act of witnessing was not only a legal duty but also a moral and religious obligation, as it was seen as upholding God's truth and righteousness. The Hebrew culture placed a high value on truthfulness and integrity, and false witnessing was strongly condemned.
