Strong's Lexicon gebereth: Mistress, Lady Original Word: גְּבֶרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַר (gabar), meaning "to be strong" or "to prevail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a "mistress" or "lady" can be related to Greek terms such as δέσποινα (despoina), meaning "mistress" or "lady." Usage: The term "gebereth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a woman of authority or high status, often translated as "mistress" or "lady." It implies a position of respect and influence, typically within a household or community setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the term "gebereth" would have been used to describe a woman who held a significant role, either as the wife of a man of high status or as a woman who managed a household. This reflects the patriarchal structure of the society, where women could hold authority within the domestic sphere. The term underscores the respect and honor afforded to women who managed households or had influence in familial or social settings.
