It is used to describe women who serve in various capacities, often in domestic settings. In the patriarchal society of ancient Israel, a "shiphchah" could be a slave or a free woman serving in a household. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with "amah," another word for a female servant, though "shiphchah" often implies a closer, more personal service to the family.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the role of a "shiphchah" was integral to the household economy. These women were responsible for various domestic tasks, including cooking, cleaning, and assisting their mistresses. In some cases, they could also bear children for their masters, as seen in the stories of Hagar (Genesis 16) and Bilhah (Genesis 30). The status of a "shiphchah" could vary; some were slaves, while others might have been hired servants. The treatment of servants was subject to Mosaic Law, which provided certain protections and rights (Exodus 21:7-11).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
