(Numbers 5:(20),29; Sir. 9:9; (Proverbs 6:24); Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from ὑπό (hypo, "under") and ἀνήρ (anēr, "man" or "husband").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὕπανδρος, the concept of a married woman or wife is often expressed in Hebrew by the word אִשָּׁה (ishah, Strong's Hebrew 802), which denotes a woman or wife, often in the context of her relationship to her husband. Usage: The word ὕπανδρος is used in the context of describing a married woman, emphasizing her relationship and subjection to her husband. It appears in the New Testament to denote the marital status of a woman. Context: The term ὕπανδρος is found in the New Testament in the context of marital relationships, specifically in Romans 7:2. In this passage, the Apostle Paul uses the term to illustrate the binding nature of the law concerning marriage. He explains that a married woman is legally bound to her husband as long as he lives. This metaphor serves to elucidate the believer's relationship to the law and to Christ. The use of ὕπανδρος underscores the cultural and legal expectations of marriage in the first-century Greco-Roman world, where a woman's identity and legal standing were closely tied to her husband. The term reflects the biblical view of marriage as a covenantal and binding relationship, with implications for understanding spiritual truths about the believer's union with Christ.
