Strong's Lexicon ach: Brother Original Word: אָח Word Origin: A primitive word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G80: ἀδελφός (adelphos) - brother - G81: ἀδελφή (adelphē) - sister Usage: The Hebrew word "ach" primarily means "brother" and is used to denote a male sibling. It can also extend to a broader sense of kinship, including relatives or fellow countrymen. In some contexts, it is used metaphorically to describe close relationships or alliances, such as between friends or allies. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "brother" extended beyond immediate family to include extended family and tribal affiliations. The familial bond was central to social structure, inheritance rights, and community responsibilities. The term "ach" reflects the importance of kinship and loyalty within the family and the broader community. In the patriarchal society of ancient Israel, brothers often played significant roles in family dynamics, inheritance, and leadership.
