Strong's Lexicon métrolóas: Mother-insulter Original Word: μήτρολόας Word Origin: Derived from μήτηρ (mētēr, "mother") and λωβᾶσθαι (lōbastai, "to insult" or "to dishonor") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of honoring parents is closely related to Strong's Hebrew entries such as: - H3513 (כָּבֵד, kabed) - to honor, to be heavy or weighty, often used in the context of giving due respect. Usage: The term "métrolóas" refers to someone who dishonors or insults their mother. In the context of biblical teachings, it underscores the importance of honoring one's parents, as emphasized in the Ten Commandments and various New Testament passages. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, family honor was of utmost importance. The family unit was the cornerstone of society, and any act of dishonor towards parents was seen as a grave offense. The biblical mandate to honor one's father and mother (Exodus 20:12) was not only a religious duty but also a social expectation.
