It is often employed in contexts where the speaker seeks to understand the rationale behind actions, events, or divine decisions. The word reflects a quest for understanding and is frequently used in dialogues that explore human and divine interactions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, questioning was a means of seeking wisdom and understanding. The use of "maddua" reflects a culture that valued inquiry and dialogue, especially in the context of understanding God's will and human behavior. The Hebrew Bible often portrays characters who question God or others to gain insight into their circumstances or the divine plan.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4100.htm">mah</a> and <a href="/hebrew/3045.htm">yada</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>why? for what reason?<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>why (72).<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">מַדּוּעַ</font><sub>61</sub> and :(Exodus 18:19) <font class="hebrew2">מַדֻּעַ</font> </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adverb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wherefore?</b></font> (probably contracted from <font class="hebrew2">מַהיָּֿדוּעַ</font> <em>what being known ?</em> i.e. from what motive? so Ges Ew<sup>§325 c</sup> Ol<sup>§223 f</sup>, compare in Greek <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">τί μαθών</font>;) — <em>wherefore? on what account ?</em> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/26-27.htm">Genesis 26:27</a> <font class="hebrew2">מַדּוּעַ בָּאתֶם אֵלָ֑י</font>, <a href="/interlinear/genesis/40-7.htm">Genesis 40:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/1-18.htm">Exodus 1:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/2-18.htm">Exodus 2:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a> (in an indirect question), <a href="/interlinear/exodus/5-14.htm">Exodus 5:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/18-14.htm">Exodus 18:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/10-17.htm">Leviticus 10:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/joshua/17-14.htm">Joshua 17:14</a> (all in Hexateuch), <a href="/interlinear/judges/5-28.htm">Judges 5:28</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/3-7.htm">2 Samuel 3:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/11-10.htm">2 Samuel 11:10</a> etc., <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/5-4.htm">Isaiah 5:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/50-2.htm">Isaiah 50:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/63-2.htm">Isaiah 63:2</a> (all in Isaiah); in <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/16.htm">Jeremiah 16</a> t., oft, rhetorically, after a double question introduced by <font class="hebrew2">הֲאִ֗֗֗ם</font>, expressing affected surprise: <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/2-14.htm">Jeremiah 2:14</a> (see Gf) is Israel a slave (unable to defend himself)? <em>wherefore</em>, then, is he become a prey?
