In the other Testament 2 words

μαρτύριον martýrion · G3142 · to witness, testimony, witness: Greek μαρτύριον renders Hebrew עֵדוּת as the standard Septuagint equivalent for 'testimony/witness,' particularly in technical contexts referring to the Decalogue/tablets of the covenant (the 'testimony' placed in the Tabernacle), with both terms functioning as formal legal-religious vocabulary for covenantal witness and evidence.
μαρτυρία martyría · G3141 · to witness, testimony, witness: Greek μαρτυρία renders Hebrew עֵדוּת in contexts where testimony or witness evidence is given, particularly in judicial or covenant settings; both terms denote formal attestation or witness-bearing with legal/religious weight.

Semantic domains 3 entries

Laws002003003016: עֵדוּת denotes the testimony or covenant stipulations, most often the tablets of the law deposited in the ark, illustrated at Exodus 31:18 ("He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone") and Exodus 25:16 ("you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you").
Scrolls001003001001014: עֵדוּת denotes the inscribed tablets themselves as a physical written document, illustrated at Exodus 31:18's "tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God," the same tablets deposited in the ark of the testimony (Exodus 25:16), viewed here as a written scroll-like object rather than as the legal content they record.
Sing002004001009006: עֵדוּת (ʻêdûwth, H5715) denotes a solemn testimony, precept, or the tablets/ark of the testimony. The quotation "You shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you" at Exodus 25:16 shows this sense, which does not independently attest the "Sing" domain; that classification is bundle-shared with עֵדָה (ʻêdâh, H5713) and שׁוּשַׁן עֵדוּת (Shûwshan ʻÊdûwth, H7802) in the source data and is not confirmed by this lexeme's own occurrences.
