Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מֶלֶךְ (melek), meaning "king."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Milcah in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of royalty or queenship, which is inherent in the meaning of Milcah, can be related to Greek terms such as βασίλισσα (basilissa), meaning "queen." Usage: Milcah is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Milcah is a significant female figure in the Hebrew Bible, appearing primarily in the genealogical and narrative texts of Genesis. She is introduced as the daughter of Haran, who is the brother of Abraham and Nahor, making her Abraham's niece. Milcah becomes the wife of her uncle Nahor, Abraham's brother, and together they have eight children, including Bethuel, who is the father of Rebekah. This makes Milcah the grandmother of Rebekah, who later becomes the wife of Isaac, Abraham's son. Milcah's role is crucial in the ancestral lineage of the Israelites, as her descendants are directly linked to the patriarchal narratives central to the Hebrew Bible.
