Strong's Lexicon aboth: Fathers, Ancestors Original Word: עֲבֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root אָב (av), meaning "father." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3962 - πατήρ (patēr): Often used in the New Testament to refer to fathers or ancestors, similar to the Hebrew "aboth." Usage: The term "aboth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to fathers or ancestors. It often denotes the patriarchs or forefathers of the Israelite people, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The word can also refer more generally to previous generations or the lineage of a family. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, lineage and ancestry were of paramount importance. The patriarchal system placed significant emphasis on the role of the father as the head of the family and the primary authority figure. The concept of "aboth" underscores the importance of heritage, tradition, and the covenantal promises passed down through generations. The patriarchs, in particular, were seen as foundational figures in the history and faith of Israel, with God's promises to them forming the basis of Israel's identity and relationship with God.
