Strong's Lexicon kallah: Bride, Daughter-in-law Original Word: כַּלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלַל (kalah), meaning "to complete" or "to perfect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3565 νύμφη (nymphē) – bride, daughter-in-law - G3566 νυμφίος (nymphios) – bridegroom Usage: The Hebrew word "kallah" primarily refers to a bride, a woman who is betrothed or newly married. It can also denote a daughter-in-law, emphasizing her new role within the family she marries into. The term is used to describe the intimate and covenantal relationship between a bride and her groom, often symbolizing purity, joy, and the beginning of a new family unit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, marriage was a significant covenantal event, often involving elaborate ceremonies and celebrations. The bride, or "kallah," was central to these events, symbolizing the joining of two families and the continuation of lineage. The role of a daughter-in-law was also crucial, as she became part of her husband's family, contributing to its social and economic life. The concept of the bride is also deeply embedded in Jewish eschatology and theology, often representing Israel's relationship with God.
