Strong's Lexicon arrén: Male, man Original Word: ἄρρην Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: arrén Pronunciation: ar-rane' Phonetic Spelling: (ar'-hrane) Definition: Male, man Meaning: male. Word Origin: Derived from a presumed derivative of 142 (airo, meaning "to lift" or "to take up") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is זָכָר (zakar), Strong's Hebrew 2145, which also denotes the male gender. Usage: The Greek word "ἄρρην" (arrén) is used in the New Testament to denote the male gender, often in contrast to female. It is used to describe men or male children, emphasizing the biological and social distinctions between genders as understood in the biblical context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, gender roles were clearly defined, with males typically holding positions of authority and responsibility in both the family and society. The biblical texts reflect these cultural norms, often highlighting the roles and responsibilities of men in religious, familial, and societal contexts. The use of "arrén" underscores the importance of male lineage and inheritance in Jewish and early Christian traditions. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin variant reading for arsén, q.v.
