Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 3149 • μαστός (mastós): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to the breast, similar to the Hebrew "dad." It appears in contexts that discuss nursing and maternal care, as well as in metaphorical expressions of comfort and nourishment.

Usage: The word is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the breast, often in a literal sense, and is associated with nurturing and femininity.

Context: The Hebrew word דַד (dad) appears in the context of describing the female breast. It is a term that conveys the physical aspect of the breast, often associated with nourishment and maternal care. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, the breast is symbolic of fertility, motherhood, and the nurturing aspect of womanhood. The word is used in poetic and metaphorical language to express beauty, love, and intimacy. In the Song of Solomon, for example, the term is used to describe the beloved's physical attributes, highlighting the beauty and desirability of the female form. The breast, as represented by "dad," is also a symbol of sustenance, as it is the source of nourishment for infants. This term, while specific in its literal meaning, carries broader connotations of life-giving and nurturing qualities in the biblical narrative.
