However, the concept of storm gods can be loosely related to Greek deities like Zeus, who also wielded thunder and storms.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the Hebrew Bible, "Adad" is not directly mentioned as a standalone name but is often associated with the storm and weather god of ancient Near Eastern cultures, particularly in the context of the Arameans and other Semitic peoples. The name is sometimes linked with Hadad, a deity worshiped in ancient Syria and Mesopotamia.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Adad, or Hadad, was a prominent deity in the ancient Near East, particularly among the Arameans, Assyrians, and Babylonians. He was considered the god of storms, rain, and fertility, often depicted with a thunderbolt. The worship of Adad was widespread, and he was often equated with the Canaanite god Baal. In the biblical context, the worship of such deities was often in opposition to the worship of Yahweh, the God of Israel, who is also depicted as having control over the weather and natural elements.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably an orth. var. for <a href="/hebrew/1908.htm">Hadad</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">אֲדַד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> see <font class="hebrew2">הדד</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>Hadad <p>Probably an orthographical variation for <a href="/hebrew/2301.htm">Chadad</a>; Adad (or Hadad), an Edomite -- Hadad. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2301.htm">Chadad</a> <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><a href="/hebrew/veegrof_106.htm">ḇə·’eḡ·rōp̄ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/baiggerot_107.htm">bā·’ig·gə·rō·wṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/haiggeret_107.htm">hā·’ig·ge·reṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/iggeret_107.htm">’ig·ge·reṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/iggerot_107.htm">’ig·gə·rō·wṯ — 4 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/iggeroteihem_107.htm">’ig·gə·rō·ṯê·hem — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veiggeret_107.htm">wə·’ig·ge·reṯ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/leedo_108.htm">lə·’ê·ḏōw — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veed_108.htm">wə·’êḏ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/velaadiv_109.htm">wə·la·’ă·ḏîḇ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/iddo_112.htm">’id·dōw — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adon_113.htm">’ā·ḏō·wn — 8 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adonai_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·nāy — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adonav_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·nāw — 37 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adonayich_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·na·yiḵ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adonei_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·nê — 4 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adoneicha_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·ne·ḵā — 19 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adoneichem_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·nê·ḵem — 11 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adoneiha_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·ne·hā — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/adoneihem_113.htm">’ă·ḏō·nê·hem — 9 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/110.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="110"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="110" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/112.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="112"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="112" /></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>
