Strong's Lexicon badad: Alone, solitary, isolated Original Word: בָּדָד Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to be separate" or "to be alone." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of solitude or being alone in the Greek New Testament can be found in words like "μονάζω" (monazo - G3441) meaning "to be alone" or "solitary." Usage: The Hebrew word "badad" conveys the idea of being alone or in solitude. It is often used to describe a state of isolation, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. In the biblical context, it can refer to individuals or groups who are set apart, either by choice or circumstance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, being alone or isolated could have both positive and negative connotations. On one hand, solitude was sometimes necessary for spiritual reflection, prayer, or purification. On the other hand, isolation could be a result of social ostracism, punishment, or exile. The concept of being "set apart" also ties into the broader biblical theme of holiness and consecration.
