Berean Strong's Lexicon badad: Alone, solitary, isolated Original Word: בָּדָד Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: badad Pronunciation: bah-dahd Phonetic Spelling: (baw-dad') Definition: Alone, solitary, isolated Meaning: to divide, be solitary Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּדַד (badad), meaning to be alone or isolated. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of being alone or isolated in the Greek New Testament can be related to words like "μονάζω" (monazo - G3441), meaning to be solitary or alone. Usage: The Hebrew word "badad" conveys the sense of being alone or in solitude. It is often used to describe a state of isolation, either physically or metaphorically. In the biblical context, it can refer to individuals or groups who are set apart, either by choice or circumstance, for a specific purpose or due to a particular condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, being alone or isolated could have both positive and negative connotations. Solitude was sometimes necessary for spiritual reflection, prayer, or purification. However, isolation could also be a result of social ostracism, illness, or divine judgment. The concept of being set apart is significant in the Hebrew Bible, often relating to holiness and the distinctiveness of God's people.
