Berean Strong's Lexicon basilissa: Queen Original Word: βασίλισσα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileus), meaning "king." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for "queen" is מַלְכָּה (malkah), Strong's Hebrew 4436, which is used in the Old Testament to refer to queens such as the Queen of Sheba and Queen Esther. Usage: The term "basilissa" refers to a queen, a female monarch, or the wife of a king. In the New Testament, it is used to denote a woman of royal status or authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, queens often held significant influence and power, both in their own right and as consorts to kings. They could be involved in political, social, and religious affairs. The role and status of a queen varied across different cultures and periods, but they were generally seen as figures of authority and respect.
