Strong's Lexicon alamoth: Maidens, young women Original Word: עֲלָמוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root עָלַם (alam), meaning "to conceal" or "to hide," often associated with youth or virginity. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, but the concept of young women or maidens can be related to Greek terms like παρθένος (parthenos), meaning "virgin" or "maiden." Usage: The term "alamoth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to young women, often in the context of music or singing. It is associated with a particular style or pitch of music, possibly indicating a higher register suitable for female voices. The term is also linked to the concept of youth and purity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, young women, or maidens, held a significant role in both family and religious settings. They were often involved in musical performances, particularly in temple worship and celebrations. The use of "alamoth" in musical contexts suggests a tradition of female choirs or singers contributing to the worship practices of the time.
