Strong's Lexicon bogedoth: Treacherous women, traitors Original Word: בֹּגְדוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּגַד (bagad), which means "to act treacherously" or "to betray." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for treachery or betrayal can be found in words like προδότης (prodotes - Strong's Greek 4273), meaning "traitor" or "betrayer." Usage: The term "bogedoth" refers to women who act deceitfully or treacherously. It is used in the context of betrayal, unfaithfulness, or infidelity, often in a relational or covenantal sense. The feminine plural form emphasizes a group of women characterized by such behavior. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, fidelity and loyalty were highly valued, especially within the context of marriage and covenant relationships. Treachery or betrayal was seen as a serious offense, not only against individuals but also against God, who established covenants with His people. The term "bogedoth" would have carried a strong negative connotation, reflecting societal disdain for unfaithfulness.
