Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew אָח (ach)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G80: ἀδελφός (adelphos) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote a brother, both in the literal sense and in the broader sense of a fellow believer or compatriot. It carries similar connotations of familial and communal relationships as the Hebrew and Aramaic terms. Usage: The term אַח is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a brother, which can refer to a biological sibling or a close associate or kin. Context: The Aramaic word אַח (ach) appears in the context of familial relationships, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where Aramaic is used. It is a term that signifies a brother, which can be understood both in the literal sense of a male sibling and in a broader sense to indicate a fellow member of a group or community. This usage is consistent with the Hebrew equivalent אָח, which is frequently found throughout the Old Testament. The concept of brotherhood in the biblical context often extends beyond blood relations to include covenantal and spiritual bonds, reflecting the communal and relational nature of ancient Near Eastern societies.
