It is used in the context of legal proceedings, where a witness provides evidence or testimony to confirm or deny a matter. The term can also refer to a memorial or a sign that serves as a witness to an event or covenant.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the role of a witness was crucial in legal and covenantal contexts. Witnesses were expected to provide truthful testimony, and their accounts could determine the outcome of legal disputes. The concept of a witness extended beyond human testimony to include objects or monuments that served as perpetual reminders of significant events or divine covenants, such as the stones set up by Joshua after crossing the Jordan River (Joshua 4:6-7).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/5713b.htm">edah</a>.<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">עִדָּה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>menstruation</b></font>, so Vrss (properly <em>time, period</em>); — plural absolute <font class="hebrew2">בֶּגֶד עִדִּים</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/64-5.htm">Isaiah 64:5</a> i.e. stained garment (figurative of best deeds of guilty people; "" <font class="hebrew2">טָמֵא</font>). <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>filthy <p>From an unused root meaning to set a period (compare <a href="/hebrew/5710.htm">adah</a>, <a href="/hebrew/5749.htm">uwd</a>); the menstrual flux (as periodical); by implication (in plural) soiling -- filthy. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5710.htm">adah</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5749.htm">uwd</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>עִדִּ֖ים עדים ‘id·dîm ‘iddîm idDim<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/isaiah/64-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 64:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/64.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">כֻּלָּ֔נוּ וּכְבֶ֥גֶד <b> עִדִּ֖ים </b> כָּל־ צִדְקֹתֵ֑ינוּ</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/64.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> [thing], and all our righteousnesses <span class="itali">[are] as filthy</span> rags;<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/64-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> for all garment <span class="itali">filthy</span> and all our righteous<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5708.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5708.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5708<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/iddim_5708.htm">‘id·dîm — 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/5707.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5707"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5707" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5709.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5709"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5709" /></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>
