Strong's Lexicon anér: Man, husband Original Word: ἀνήρ Word Origin: A primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H376 (אִישׁ, 'ish): Often translated as "man" or "husband," similar to "anér" in its usage and context. - H582 (אֱנוֹשׁ, 'enosh): Another term for man, often emphasizing mortality or humanity. Usage: The Greek word "anér" primarily refers to an adult male, distinguishing him from a boy or a woman. It is often used to denote a man in the context of his role as a husband. In the New Testament, "anér" is used to describe men in various roles, including leaders, husbands, and individuals in a community. The term emphasizes the gender and often the maturity or status of the individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the term "anér" carried significant social and cultural implications. Men were typically seen as the heads of households and held primary responsibility for leadership in both family and public life. The patriarchal structure of society meant that men were often the decision-makers and held authority in religious, social, and political spheres. Understanding this context helps to appreciate the roles and responsibilities attributed to men in biblical narratives and teachings.
