and Serving-one of Edom

Rootעבד (ʿ-b-d)
Core Meaningsto work, to serve, to labor, to be in service, to enslave
Semantic Rangeservant, worker, worshiper, laborer; one in service to a master or deity; in participial form, an ongoing servant or serving person
Conceptual SignificanceThe name highlights the biblical theme of service—whether to a human master or to YHWH. Obed-Edom is notably associated with hosting the Ark of the Covenant, and his name underscores the honor and blessing connected with faithful service.
Morphological Notesוְ conjunction + proper noun (Np); עֹבֵד is Qal active participle masculine singular of עבד in construct with אֱדוֹם; functioning as a personal name (Obed-Edom).
Rendering RationaleThe name עֹבֵד is the masculine singular active participle of עבד (“to serve, work”), meaning “one who serves.” Combined with אֱדוֹם (“Edom”), it forms a construct name meaning “Serving-one of Edom.” The conjunction וְ (“and”) is preserved, and the masculine singular participial sense is reflected in “Serving-one.”
