It is often used in the context of marriage and sexual purity, emphasizing the importance of chastity before marriage.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, virginity was highly valued, especially for women, as it was associated with purity, honor, and the integrity of family lineage. The loss of virginity outside of marriage could lead to severe social and familial consequences. The concept of virginity was not only a physical state but also a symbol of spiritual purity and dedication to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
