This term is used in contexts such as John 5:39, where Jesus speaks of the Scriptures bearing witness to Him.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "odoth" refers to testimonies or witnesses, often in the context of legal or covenantal settings. It is used to describe the act of bearing witness or the testimonies that serve as evidence or proof of a covenant or agreement. In the biblical context, it frequently relates to the testimonies of God's laws and decrees, which serve as a witness to His covenant with His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, testimonies were crucial in legal proceedings and covenantal relationships. The concept of bearing witness was deeply embedded in the culture, as it was essential for maintaining justice and truth. The testimonies of God's laws were seen as divine witnesses to His covenant with Israel, serving as a constant reminder of their obligations and relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/181.htm">ud</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a cause<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>about* (1), account (1), because (1), because* (4), concerning* (1), sake* (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">אוֺדָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cause</b></font> (perhaps originally <em>circumstance</em>, compare Sabean <font class="hebrew2">אוד</font> <em>enclosing wall</em>) — only plural <font class="hebrew2">אוֺדֹת</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/21-11.htm">Genesis 21:11</a> +; <font class="hebrew2">אֹדוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/12-1.htm">Numbers 12:1</a> +; (8 t. + <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/13-16.htm">2 Samuel 13:16</a> see infra); <font class="hebrew2">אֹדוֺתַי</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/14-6.htm">Joshua 14:6</a>; <font class="hebrew2">אֹדוֺתֶיךָ</font> ib.; — <em>cause</em>, always with <font class="hebrew2">על</font>, & construct, except <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/3-8.htm">Jeremiah 3:8</a>, where followed by <font class="hebrew2">אֲשֶׁר</font>; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">עַלאֿ</font> <em>because of</em> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/21-11.htm">Genesis 21:11,25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/18-8.htm">Exodus 18:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/12-1.htm">Numbers 12:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-24.htm">Numbers 13:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/judges/6-7.htm">Judges 6:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/3-8.htm">Jeremiah 3:8</a>; = <em>concerning</em> (<em>on occasion of</em>) <a href="/interlinear/genesis/26-32.htm">Genesis 26:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/joshua/14-6.htm">Joshua 14:6</a> (twice in verse); in <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/13-16.htm">2 Samuel 13:16</a> read, for <font class="hebrew2">אלאֹֿדוֺת</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אַל אָחִי כִּי</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> It.
