Usage: The term "na'arah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a young woman or girl, often of marriageable age. It can denote a female who is not yet married and is typically associated with youth and vitality. The word is used to describe both the physical and social status of a young woman in ancient Israelite society.
