Matthew 15:39


Footnote:

31

ืžื’ื“ (Strong's #4022) and Μαγαδฮฌν (Magadan) share a possible linguistic connection through Semitic roots, with ืžื’ื“ (Meged) meaning "gift" or "precious place" in Hebrew and Μαγαδฮฌν (Magadan) appearing in Greek texts as a location mentioned in the New Testament. While ืžื’ื“ (Meged) relates to significance or value, Μαγαδฮฌν (Magadan) specifically refers to a place associated with Jesus' ministry, but the location is unidentified. The ending -ฮฌν would add the Hebrew diminuitive suffix -on (See Paragogic Nun Study) giving it a meaning of "Inner Precious Place."
