It is used to denote something that serves as evidence or proof, particularly in a covenantal or judicial setting. In the biblical context, it can refer to the testimony of God's laws or decrees, serving as a witness to His covenant with His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of testimony was integral to both religious and legal systems. Testimonies were not only verbal declarations but also included written records and physical symbols that served as reminders of covenants and divine laws. The Ark of the Covenant, for example, was known as the "Ark of the Testimony" because it contained the tablets of the Law, which were a testimony to God's covenant with Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5749.htm">ud</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>testimony, attestation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>attestation (1), testimony (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">תְּעוּדָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>testimony, attestation</b></font>;
