מַעֲדַנּוֺת noun [feminine] plural Job 38:31 see below ענד; מַעֲדַנֹּת 1Sam 15:32 is dubious; = above, as adverb accusative in bonds, fetters, Ki Gr Klo; ᵑ7 Symm Dr assign to √ עדן = delicately, voluptuously ; but ᵐ5 τρέμων, whence LagProph. Chald. li proposes מְעֹדַנִּת (compare אֲחֹרַנִּית) √ מעד = totteringly , so HPS.
מַעְדֵּר see עדר .
[מַעֲדָן] noun [masculine] dainty (food), delight only plural; — מַעֲדַגֵּי מֶלָךְ Gen 49:20 royal dainties; הָאֹכְלִים לְמַעֲדַנִּים Lam 4:5 those who ate (according to dainties) daintily; more generally וְיִתֵּן מַעֲדַנִּים לְנַפְשֶׁ֑ךָ Prov 29:17 he shall give delight to thy soul (|| וִינִידֶ֑ךָ). — מַעֲדַנּוֺת , also below ענד.
מַעֲדַנּוֺת noun feminine plural bonds, bands; so apparently כִּימָה ׳ הַתְקַשֵּׁר מ Job 38:31 (by metath. or error from √ ענד, see Di Bu). — 1Sam 15:32 see ׳ מ above
