Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots אָב (av, meaning "father") and יָדַע (yada, meaning "to know"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Abida, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Old Testament and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. Usage: Abida is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Abida is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Bible as one of the sons of Midian. Midian was a son of Abraham through his wife Keturah, whom he married after the death of Sarah. Abida is listed among the descendants of Abraham, highlighting the expansion of Abraham's lineage beyond Isaac and Ishmael. The mention of Abida is found in the context of the genealogies that trace the spread of Abraham's descendants and their settlements. In Genesis 25:4, the Berean Standard Bible states: "The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah." This passage situates Abida within the broader narrative of the patriarchal history, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make him a father of many nations. The genealogical listing serves to underscore the diverse and widespread nature of Abraham's progeny, with Abida being one of the lesser-known figures in this expansive family tree.
