It signifies a firm foundation or support structure, typically for pillars or other significant elements within sacred architecture.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle was a central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The use of bases or pedestals (adan) was crucial for the stability and integrity of the tabernacle's structure. These bases were often made of silver or bronze, materials that symbolized purity and strength. The concept of a firm foundation was not only practical but also carried spiritual significance, representing the steadfastness and reliability of God's covenant with Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/5730.htm">eden</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to luxuriate<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>reveled (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">עָדַן</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative Hithpa`el</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>luxuriate</b></font> (Late Hebrew Pi`el <em>delight</em> (active), so Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb072604.gif">;
