Strong's Lexicon penthera: mother-in-law Original Word: πενθερά Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word πενθερός (pentheros), meaning "father-in-law." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "penthera," the concept of in-laws is present in the Old Testament, such as חֹתֵן (choten) for "father-in-law" and חֲמוֹת (chamot) for "mother-in-law." Usage: The term "penthera" is used in the New Testament to refer specifically to a mother-in-law, the mother of one's spouse. It appears in contexts that highlight familial relationships and the dynamics within a household. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman world, family structures were patriarchal and extended, often including multiple generations living together. The role of a mother-in-law was significant, as she was typically involved in the domestic and social upbringing of the family. The relationship between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law or son-in-law could be complex, influenced by cultural expectations and personal dynamics.
