Strong's Lexicon talitha: Little girl, damsel Original Word: ταλιθά Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic term טַלְיְתָא (talitha), meaning "little girl" or "damsel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Aramaic term טַלְיְתָא (talitha) does not have a direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, but it is related to the Hebrew word טַלְיָא (talyā), meaning "young child" or "youth." Usage: The term "talitha" is used in the New Testament in the context of Jesus performing a miracle. It is a tender address used by Jesus when He raises a young girl from the dead, demonstrating His compassion and authority over life and death. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish culture of the first century, children, especially girls, were often seen as having lesser status. Jesus' use of "talitha" highlights His counter-cultural approach, valuing and showing compassion to all individuals regardless of societal status. The use of Aramaic, the common language of the Jewish people at the time, underscores the personal and intimate nature of Jesus' ministry.
