Strong's Lexicon addir: Mighty, Noble, Excellent, Majestic Original Word: אַדִּיר Word Origin: Derived from the root אָדַר (adar), meaning "to be great" or "to be majestic." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3168 (megaleiotēs): Often translated as "majesty" or "greatness," used in the New Testament to describe the majesty of God. - G1411 (dynamis): Translated as "power" or "mighty works," reflecting the strength and power aspect of "addir." Usage: The Hebrew word "addir" is used to describe something or someone possessing great strength, nobility, or majesty. It often conveys a sense of grandeur and excellence, whether in reference to God, people, or objects. In the context of God, it emphasizes His supreme power and majestic nature. When applied to people or nations, it denotes nobility or prominence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of majesty and nobility was highly esteemed. Kings, warriors, and leaders were often described using terms that highlighted their strength and grandeur. The term "addir" reflects the cultural value placed on power and excellence, both in human leaders and in the divine nature of God. The Israelites, living in a world of competing nations and deities, used such terms to affirm the supremacy of Yahweh over all other gods and rulers.
