Strong's Lexicon attuwq: "Removed," "advanced," "aged" Original Word: אַתּוּק Word Origin: Derived from the root עָתַק (athaq), meaning "to move, advance, or remove." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "attuwq," the concept of age and wisdom is similarly expressed in Greek through words like "πρεσβύτερος" (presbyteros), meaning "elder" or "older," which is used in the New Testament to denote church leaders or those of advanced age. Usage: The Hebrew word "attuwq" is used to describe something that is removed or advanced in age. It often conveys the idea of being mature or aged, typically in a positive sense, indicating wisdom or experience that comes with age. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, age was often associated with wisdom and respect. Elders were revered for their life experience and were often sought for guidance and leadership. The concept of being "advanced" or "removed" in age carried a connotation of honor and dignity. This cultural perspective is reflected in the use of "attuwq" to describe those who have reached a venerable age.
