Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often relates to the word אָב (ab), meaning "father."

Usage: The term "patrikos" is used to describe something that pertains to or is characteristic of a father. It conveys the idea of paternal qualities, inheritance, or lineage. In the context of the New Testament, it may refer to traditions, customs, or characteristics passed down from one's ancestors or forefathers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "patrikos" would have been significant in understanding family lineage, inheritance rights, and social status. The paternal line was often emphasized in genealogies and legal matters. In Jewish culture, the father's house or lineage was crucial in determining tribal affiliation and inheritance, as seen in the genealogies of the Old Testament.
