Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3933 (parthenos): Refers to a virgin, often used in the New Testament to describe Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the concept of spiritual purity. Usage: The term "bethulim" refers to the state of virginity, particularly the physical and moral purity associated with a virgin. It is often used in the context of marriage and sexual purity, emphasizing the importance of chastity before marriage. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, virginity was highly valued, especially for women, as it was associated with purity, honor, and the integrity of family lineage. The loss of virginity outside of marriage could lead to severe social and familial consequences. The concept of virginity was not only a physical state but also a symbol of spiritual purity and dedication to God.
