Strong's Lexicon métér: Mother Original Word: μήτηρ Word Origin: Derived from a primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 517: אֵם (em) - mother Usage: The Greek word "μήτηρ" (métér) is used in the New Testament to denote a female parent, or mother. It is employed both in a literal sense, referring to one's biological mother, and in a metaphorical sense, representing the source or origin of something. The term is also used to describe spiritual relationships, such as the Church being the "mother" of believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the role of the mother was highly esteemed within the family unit. Mothers were primarily responsible for the upbringing and early education of children. In Jewish culture, the mother was also seen as a pivotal figure in maintaining religious traditions and values within the household. The concept of motherhood carried with it notions of nurturing, care, and authority.
