Strong's Lexicon Samaritis: Samaritan woman Original Word: Σαμαρῖτις Word Origin: Derived from Σαμάρεια (Samareia), meaning "Samaria" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "Samaritis," the term is related to the region of Samaria, which is often referred to in the Old Testament, such as in 2 Kings 17:29. Usage: The term "Samaritis" specifically refers to a woman from Samaria. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the woman Jesus encounters at the well in John 4. This encounter is significant as it highlights Jesus' ministry extending beyond Jewish boundaries, emphasizing the inclusivity of the Gospel. Cultural and Historical Background: Samaritans were a distinct ethnic and religious group during the time of Jesus, originating from the Northern Kingdom of Israel. They had their own version of the Pentateuch and worshiped on Mount Gerizim. Tensions existed between Jews and Samaritans due to historical, religious, and cultural differences. Jews typically avoided interactions with Samaritans, considering them impure and heretical.
