Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A preposition derived from the root word עַד (ad), which generally means "until" or "up to." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1622 (ἐν • en): This Greek preposition is often used to denote "in," "on," or "among," similar to some uses of בְּעַד in spatial contexts. • G1855 (ἐπί • epi): This Greek preposition can mean "on," "upon," "over," or "against," aligning with the spatial and metaphorical uses of בְּעַד, particularly in terms of positioning and advocacy. In summary, בְּעַד (be'ad) is a multifaceted preposition in Biblical Hebrew, encompassing a wide range of meanings from physical positioning to abstract relationships of advocacy and purpose. Its usage throughout the Hebrew Bible reflects its versatility and depth in conveying both concrete and metaphorical ideas. Usage: This preposition is versatile in its application, appearing in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible. It can indicate physical position, such as being "behind" or "beside" something, as well as more abstract relationships, such as acting "for" someone or something. Context: • Spatial Relationships: בְּעַד is often used to describe physical positioning. For example, it can denote being "behind" an object or person, as seen in Genesis 7:16, where the Lord "shut him in" (בְּעַד) Noah and his family within the ark. • Metaphorical and Abstract Uses: The preposition also extends to more abstract uses, such as acting "for" someone, indicating support or advocacy. In Job 16:21, the term is used to express the desire for an advocate: "Oh, that a man might plead with God as a man pleads for his neighbor!" • Intercessory and Protective Connotations: בְּעַד can imply intercession or protection, as in Psalm 106:23, where Moses "stood in the breach" (בְּעַד) to turn away God's wrath from destroying the people. • Temporal and Causal Implications: While primarily spatial, בְּעַד can also have temporal or causal implications, suggesting a sense of purpose or reason, as in the context of doing something "for" a particular cause or person.
