Strong's Lexicon yaldah: Girl, young girl, maiden Original Word: יַלְדָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָלַד (yalad), meaning "to bear, bring forth, beget." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3813 (παιδίον, paidion) - A young child or infant. - G2877 (κοράσιον, korasion) - A little girl or maiden. Usage: The term "yaldah" refers to a female child or a young girl. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a girl who is not yet of marriageable age, emphasizing her youth and innocence. The word is often used in contexts that highlight familial relationships, social status, or the innocence and potential of youth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, children were considered a blessing from God, and daughters were valued members of the family. While sons were often emphasized for their role in inheritance and carrying on the family name, daughters were cherished for their roles in family life and future alliances through marriage. The term "yaldah" reflects the cultural view of children as gifts and the importance of nurturing them within the community.
