Strong's Lexicon aboth: Fathers, Ancestors Original Word: אֲבוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root אָב (av), meaning "father." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3962 (πατήρ, patēr): Father - G3971 (πατριά, patria): Lineage, family Usage: The term "aboth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to fathers or ancestors. It often denotes the patriarchs or forefathers of the Israelite people, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The word can also be used more broadly to refer to previous generations or the founding figures of a family or nation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, ancestry and lineage were of paramount importance. The patriarchal system placed significant emphasis on the role of fathers as leaders and providers for their families. The concept of "aboth" is deeply rooted in the covenantal promises made by God to the patriarchs, which were foundational to Israel's identity and faith. The reverence for ancestors is reflected in the genealogies and historical narratives of the Hebrew Bible, underscoring the continuity of God's promises through successive generations.
