serving-man of Edom

Rootעבד (ʿ-b-d)
Core Meaningswork, serve, labor, be in service, act as a servant
Semantic Rangeone who works, servant, laborer, attendant, worshiper (in cultic contexts); as a proper name, it identifies an individual characterized as a servant or one associated with service.
Conceptual SignificanceThe name highlights the central biblical concept of עבד as service—whether to a master, a king, or to יהוה. In personal names, it reflects identity shaped by allegiance or function, underscoring the cultural value placed on service and covenantal loyalty.
Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine singular (absolute and construct forms attested). Used as a proper name in construct with אֱדוֹם (Edom).
Rendering RationaleThe form עֹבֵד is the Qal active participle masculine singular of עבד, meaning "one who serves" or "working one." As a masculine singular participle in construct with "Edom," it denotes "serving-man of Edom," preserving both the root sense of service/labor and the grammatical gender and number.
