Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun עַמְעָד (Amad), as it is a specific place name without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament or Septuagint.

Usage: The term "Amad" is used in the context of a geographical location within the tribal allotments of ancient Israel.

Context: Amad is mentioned in the context of the territorial boundaries of the tribe of Asher. It appears in the list of towns that were part of Asher's inheritance in the Promised Land. The specific reference to Amad is found in the book of Joshua, where it is listed among other towns in the region. The exact location of Amad is not definitively known today, and it is not frequently mentioned elsewhere in biblical texts. Its inclusion in the list of towns suggests it was a recognized settlement during the time of the Israelite conquest and settlement of Canaan.

Biblical Reference:
Joshua 19:26 (BSB): "Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath."

This passage situates Amad within the broader context of the tribal boundaries, providing insight into the geographical layout of the land allotted to Asher. The mention alongside other towns helps to establish its historical and cultural significance during the period of the Israelite settlement.
