Ed

Definition of ed:

witness, a word not found in the original Hebrew, nor in the LXX. and Vulgate, but added by the translators in the Authorized Version, also in the Revised Version, of Joshua 22:34 . The words are literally rendered: " And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar. It is a witness between us that Jehovah is God." This great altar stood probably on the east side of the Jordan, in the land of Gilead, " over against the land of Canaan." After the division of the Promised Land, the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, on returning to their own settlements on the east of Jordan ( Joshua 22:1-6 ), erected a great altar, which they affirmed, in answer to the challenge of the other tribes, was not for sacrifice, but only as a witness (' Ed) or testimony to future generations that they still retained the same interest in the nation as the other tribes.
( witness ), a word inserted in the Authorized Version of ( Joshua 22:34 ) apparently on the authority of a few MSS., and also of the Syriac and Arabic versions, but not existing in the generally-received Hebrew text.
Termination ( 1) of the past tense, and ( 2) of the past participle of regular verbs and of adjectives formed on the model of such participles; as, hot headed.
