Summary

yeda is rendered "to praise". It stands 2 times in the Hebrew text, across one book.

  • Two of the uses stand in Daniel, more than in any other book.
  • Its first use in canonical order opens the ledger below.Daniel 2:23To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the king.”
  • The Greek text spells it two different ways.

The first use

To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Daniel 2:23מְהוֹדֵ֤א

The first use, in the order of the Old Testament's books.

Where the word stands

Two of the word's two uses are in Daniel.

The other 38 Old Testament books never use the word.

How the numbers are counted

Every count on this page comes from STEP Bible's tagged Hebrew and Greek text, the same text the ledger prints. A use is counted once each time the tagging marks a word with this key.

Spellings are counted as the Greek text spells them, with the sentence's own punctuation taken off the word first, so a form that ends a clause is not counted as a second spelling.
