𐤏𐤃𐤄

ʻâdâh

H5710 verb

SILEX Entry

Root עדה to advance, move in front, go by, pass on, cause to move, remove, adorn

Definition

To advance, move onward, or proceed (often in the sense of coming forward or passing in front of others); to pass on, go past; (causative) to remove, take away something; in some contexts, to adorn or clothe, particularly by adding jewelry or ornaments. The verb can refer to advancing physically, removing objects or people, and adorning individuals in ceremonial or festive contexts.

Semantic Range

to move forward, to pass along or by, to remove or take away, to adorn or deck (with ornaments or garments), to equip, to clothe

Root / Etymology

From the root ע-ד-ה, which expresses movement forward or in front. The verb has both intransitive and causative forms, the latter yielding the sense of removal or causing something to go forward. Derived noun/adjective forms are related to adornment or ceremonial dress (e.g., עֵדֶה).

Historical & Contextual Notes

Primarily used in narrative and poetic contexts, עָדָה appears in various ways: to advance (Gen 36:6), to pass by (Exod 33:22), to remove or carry away (Job 9:11; Zech 3:4, in clothing imagery), or to adorn (Isa 61:10, referencing priestly or festive garb). Usage includes literal movement or passing, but also metaphorical senses such as removal from presence or endowment with distinction. In later and post-biblical Hebrew, the noun form becomes strongly associated with ceremonial or distinctive adornment, but in biblical contexts, adornment is secondary to the core idea of moving or causing movement. The sense of 'deck' or 'adorn' is sometimes rendered in English as 'clothe' or 'array,' but the underlying Hebrew often emphasizes the process of putting on rather than the end state. English translations may obscure distinctions between adornment for honor and adornment for ritual or status, which are more clearly marked in Hebrew.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

a primitive root; to advance, i.e. pass on or continue; causatively, to remove; specifically, to bedeck (i.e. bring an ornament upon); adorn, deck (self), pass by, take away.
