Strong's Lexicon bechurim or bechuroth: Young men / Youths Original Word: בְּחֻרוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּחַר (bachar), meaning "to choose" or "to select." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3495 (neaniskos): Refers to a young man or youth, often used in the New Testament to describe young men in the prime of life. - G3501 (neos): Meaning new or young, often used to describe youthfulness or newness in age or experience. Usage: The term "bechurim" or "bechuroth" refers to young men or youths, often highlighting their vigor, strength, and potential. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the period of life characterized by physical and mental development, often associated with the prime of life and the responsibilities that come with it. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, young men were often seen as the backbone of the community, expected to take on roles of leadership, defense, and labor.

This period was crucial for the continuation of family lineage and the community's prosperity.
