Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Diminutive form of κόρη (korē), meaning "girl" or "maiden."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek κοράσιον does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in Hebrew, but similar concepts can be found in terms like נַעֲרָה (na'arah, Strong's Hebrew 5291), which means "young girl" or "maiden." This term is used in the Old Testament to describe young women in various contexts, such as Rebekah in Genesis 24:16 and the young maidservant in 2 Kings 5:2. Usage: The term κοράσιον is used in the New Testament to refer to young girls or maidens, often in contexts involving healing or significant events in their lives. It appears in narratives that highlight the compassion and miraculous works of Jesus. Context: The term κοράσιον is found in several key passages in the New Testament, illustrating both the cultural context of young women in biblical times and the transformative power of Jesus' ministry. In the Gospel of Matthew (14:11), κοράσιον is used to describe the daughter of Herodias who danced before Herod, leading to the beheading of John the Baptist: "His head was brought on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother." This passage underscores the influence and agency of young women within the narrative, albeit in a tragic context.
