Strong's Lexicon En Gedi: En Gedi Original Word: עֵין גֶּדִי Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֵין (ayin), meaning "spring" or "fountain," and גֶּדִי (gedi), meaning "young goat" or "kid." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for En Gedi in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: En Gedi means "Spring of the Kid" or "Fountain of the Young Goat." It is a place name used in the Bible to refer to an oasis located on the western shore of the Dead Sea. Cultural and Historical Background: En Gedi is an ancient oasis known for its lush vegetation and abundant water supply in an otherwise arid region. Historically, it was a significant site for agriculture, particularly for the cultivation of date palms and balsam. The area was also known for its wildlife, including ibexes, which are likely the "young goats" referenced in its name. En Gedi served as a refuge and strategic location throughout biblical history.
