Μοδεδ(ε)ια, A ᵐ5L Μοο(υ)δεια (perhaps = following, q. v. ) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָדָה (adah), which can mean "to pass on" or "to advance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for Maadai, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of priestly service and dedication to God can be related to Greek terms such as ἱερεύς (hiereus, Strong's Greek 2409), meaning "priest." Usage: The name Maadai appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, specifically in the genealogical records of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. Context: Maadai is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as one of the individuals who returned to Jerusalem following the Babylonian exile. In Nehemiah 12:5, Maadai is listed among the priests who were part of the group that returned with Zerubbabel and Jeshua. This group was responsible for re-establishing the religious practices and temple services in Jerusalem after the return from captivity. The mention of Maadai in this context highlights the importance of maintaining the priestly lineage and the continuity of worship according to the traditions of Israel. The name itself, meaning "ornament of Jehovah," suggests a person dedicated to the service and glory of God, reflecting the role of the priests in the community.
