Berean Strong's Lexicon ach: Brother Original Word: אַח Word Origin: A primitive word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G80: ἀδελφός (adelphos) - brother - G81: ἀδελφή (adelphē) - sister Usage: The Hebrew word "ach" primarily means "brother" and is used to denote a male sibling. It can also extend to a broader sense of kinship, including close relatives or fellow members of a group or community. In some contexts, it is used metaphorically to refer to allies or companions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "brother" extended beyond immediate family to include tribal and national relationships. The bond between brothers was considered sacred and was often associated with loyalty, protection, and shared inheritance. The patriarchal society of ancient Israel placed significant emphasis on family lineage and kinship, making the role of a brother crucial in maintaining family honor and continuity.
