◄ 4773. suggenes ►
Strong's Lexicon suggenes: Relative, kinsman, kindred Original Word: συγγενής Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: suggenes Pronunciation: soong-ghen-ACE Phonetic Spelling: (soong-ghen-ace') Definition: Relative, kinsman, kindred Meaning: akin to, related; subst: fellow countryman, kinsman. Word Origin: From σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and γένος (genos, meaning "race" or "kind") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament for a relative or kinsman is "מִשְׁפָּחָה" (mishpachah, Strong's H4940), which also denotes family or clan. Usage: The Greek word "συγγενής" (suggenes) is used in the New Testament to denote someone who is a relative or kinsman. It refers to those who are of the same family or lineage, indicating a close familial relationship. The term can be used broadly to include extended family members, not just immediate family. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman world, family and kinship ties were of paramount importance. These relationships were central to social structure, inheritance rights, and religious obligations. The concept of family extended beyond the nuclear family to include a wider network of relatives, which was crucial for social support and identity. The use of "suggenes" reflects this cultural emphasis on familial bonds and responsibilities.
