Strong's Lexicon nashin: Women Original Word: נָשִׁין Word Origin: Derived from the root נָשָׁה (nashah), which means "to forget" or "to neglect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "nashin" is γυνή (gynē), Strong's Greek #1135, which also means "woman" or "wife." Usage: The term "nashin" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to women, often in the context of their roles within family and society. It can denote women in general or specific groups of women, such as wives or mothers. The word emphasizes the social and familial roles women played in ancient Israelite culture. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, women held significant roles within the family and community. They were responsible for managing the household, raising children, and contributing to the economic well-being of the family through various means such as weaving, cooking, and sometimes engaging in trade. While the patriarchal structure of society often limited women's public roles, the Bible records numerous instances of women who played crucial roles in God's redemptive history, such as Deborah, Ruth, and Esther.
