Strong's Lexicon achvah: Brotherhood, kinship, fraternity Original Word: אַחְוָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָח (ach), meaning "brother." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures the essence of "achvah" is ἀδελφότης (adelphotēs), Strong's Greek 81, which also means brotherhood or fraternity. Usage: The term "achvah" refers to a sense of brotherhood or kinship, emphasizing the bond and unity among individuals, particularly within a familial or community context. It conveys a deep sense of connection and mutual support, often extending beyond biological relationships to include spiritual and communal ties. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of brotherhood was foundational to societal structure. The family unit was the primary social entity, and relationships within this unit were governed by strong bonds of loyalty and mutual responsibility.

This concept was not only limited to blood relations but also included those who shared common beliefs and values, reflecting the communal nature of ancient Hebrew society.
