Strong's Lexicon qadam: To meet, confront, go before, anticipate Original Word: קָדַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - προάγω (proagō) - to lead forward, go before - ἀπαντάω (apantaō) - to meet, encounter Usage: The Hebrew verb "qadam" primarily conveys the idea of going before or meeting someone or something. It can imply a physical meeting or confrontation, as well as a more abstract sense of anticipating or preparing for an event. The term is often used in contexts where one is going ahead of another, either to prepare the way or to confront. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of going before or meeting someone held significant social and ceremonial importance. Leaders and messengers would often go ahead to prepare the way for a king or dignitary, ensuring that the path was clear and that proper arrangements were made. This cultural practice is reflected in the biblical usage of "qadam," where it often denotes preparation, anticipation, or confrontation.
