It is used to express singularity, uniqueness, and sometimes priority or primacy. In the context of counting, it signifies the numeral "one." It can also imply unity or oneness in a collective sense, as seen in expressions of unity among people or within the Godhead.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, numbers often carried symbolic meanings beyond their numerical value. The concept of "one" (achad) was significant in expressing the monotheistic belief central to Israelite religion, emphasizing the uniqueness and singularity of Yahweh as the one true God. This is famously encapsulated in the Shema, a central declaration of faith in Judaism: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4, BSB). The idea of oneness also extended to social and communal aspects, highlighting unity and harmony among the people of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/2300.htm">chadad</a>, q.v.<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">אָחַד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> see <font class="hebrew2">יחד</font> or <font class="hebrew2">חדד</font> (Co <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-21.htm">Ezekiel 21:21</a>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>go one way or other <p>Perhaps a primitive root; to unify, i.e. (figuratively) collect (one's thoughts) -- go one way or other. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הִתְאַחֲדִ֥י התאחדי hiṯ’aḥăḏî hiṯ·’a·ḥă·ḏî hitachaDi<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezekiel/21-16.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezekiel 21:16</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> הִתְאַחֲדִ֥י </b> הֵימִ֖נִי הָשִׂ֣ימִי</span><br><a href="/kjvs/ezekiel/21.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">Go thee one way or other,</span> [either] on<br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-16.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">other</span> go set<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_258.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_258.htm">Strong's Hebrew 258<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/hitachadi_258.htm">hiṯ·’a·ḥă·ḏî — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/257.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="257"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="257" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/259.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="259"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="259" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
