Strong's Lexicon achavah or achavayah: Brotherhood, kinship, fellowship Original Word: אַחֲוָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָח (ach), meaning "brother" or "kinsman." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of brotherhood is ἀδελφότης (adelphotēs), Strong's Greek #81, which also denotes brotherhood or fellowship among believers. Usage: The term "achavah" or "achavayah" refers to the concept of brotherhood or fellowship, emphasizing the bond and unity among individuals, particularly within a family or community. It conveys a sense of mutual support, loyalty, and shared purpose. In the Hebrew Bible, this term underscores the importance of relationships and communal ties, reflecting the covenantal nature of God's people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, family and tribal connections were central to identity and social structure.
