However, the concept of returning to covenant faithfulness and separation from foreign influences can be seen in the New Testament through terms like ἁγιασμός (hagiasmos, G38), meaning sanctification or holiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Maadai is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of one of the sons of Bani, who was among those who had married foreign wives and pledged to put them away during the reforms of Ezra.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The name Maadai appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, a period marked by efforts to restore religious and social order following the Babylonian exile. The returnees, led by figures like Ezra and Nehemiah, sought to re-establish the covenant community by adhering strictly to the Mosaic Law. This included the controversial decision to dissolve marriages with foreign women, which was seen as a necessary step to prevent idolatry and cultural assimilation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4571.htm">maad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Maadai (1).<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">מַעְדַּי</font> (van d.
