Strong's Lexicon ish: Man, husband, person, individual Original Word: אִישׁ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be extant Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G435 (ἀνήρ, anēr) - man, husband - G444 (ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos) - human being, person Usage: The Hebrew word "ish" primarily denotes a man or male individual. It is often used to refer to a husband in the context of marriage. The term can also be used more broadly to signify a person or individual, regardless of gender, in certain contexts. "Ish" is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to distinguish men from women, as well as to denote a person's role or status within a community or family. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the term "ish" carried significant weight in defining social roles and responsibilities. Men were typically seen as the heads of their households and were responsible for providing for and protecting their families. The patriarchal structure of ancient Israelite society meant that men often held positions of authority and leadership within both the family and the community. The use of "ish" in the Hebrew Bible reflects these cultural norms and highlights the importance of men in the social and religious life of ancient Israel.
