Strong's Lexicon korasion: Girl, Little Girl, Maiden Original Word: κοράσιον Word Origin: Diminutive of the Greek word κόρη (korē), meaning "girl" or "maiden." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is נַעֲרָה (na'arah), Strong's Hebrew 5291, which also means "girl" or "maiden." Usage: The term "korasion" is used in the New Testament to refer to a young girl or maiden. It is a diminutive form, often implying youth or smallness, and is used to describe a girl who is not yet of marriageable age. The term is used in contexts that highlight the innocence and vulnerability of young girls. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, children, especially girls, were considered to be under the authority and protection of their fathers until they were married. Girls were often married at a young age, and their roles were primarily domestic. The use of "korasion" in the New Testament reflects the cultural view of young girls as dependent and in need of care and protection.
