Strong's Lexicon yoneq: Nursing child, infant Original Word: יוֹנֵק Word Origin: Derived from the root יָנַק (yanak), meaning "to suck" or "to nurse." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1025 (brephos): Refers to an unborn or newborn child, an infant. - G3516 (nepios): Refers to an infant, a minor, or someone who is immature. Usage: The term "yoneq" refers to a nursing child or infant, emphasizing the stage of life where a child is dependent on its mother for nourishment. It is often used in the context of vulnerability and innocence, highlighting the need for care and protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, children were considered a blessing from God, and the image of a nursing child was a powerful symbol of dependence and trust. The nurturing relationship between a mother and her nursing child was seen as a reflection of God's care for His people. Infants were typically nursed for an extended period, which was crucial for their survival and development in a time when infant mortality was high.
