חֲרֹד proper name, of a location only ׳עֵין ח (see below עַיִן), a camping-place of Gideon and Israel. Judges 7:1.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words עַיִן (ayin, meaning "spring" or "fountain") and חֲרֹד (charod, meaning "trembling" or "fear").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for En-Charod, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of springs or fountains can be related to Greek words such as πηγή (pegē, meaning "spring" or "fountain"), which is Strong's Greek Number 4077.

Usage: En-Charod is a proper noun used to denote a specific location in the biblical narrative. It is mentioned in the context of Gideon's battle against the Midianites.

Context: En-Charod is a significant geographical location mentioned in the Book of Judges. It is identified as the site where Gideon and his men encamped before the battle against the Midianites. The spring is located in the Jezreel Valley, near Mount Gilboa. In Judges 7:1, the Berean Standard Bible states: "Early in the morning Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the men with him camped beside the spring of Harod, while the camp of Midian was north of them, in the valley near the hill of Moreh." This location is notable for the selection process of Gideon's army, where God instructed Gideon to reduce his troops based on how they drank water from the spring. The spring of Harod thus serves as a backdrop for a divine test of faith and obedience, leading to a miraculous victory with a small, handpicked force.
