In the context of the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a person or entity that lacks a maternal origin or lineage. This term is rare and carries a significant theological implication when used.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, lineage and ancestry were crucial for identity and social status. Being "without mother" could imply a lack of recognized heritage or legitimacy. In the context of the New Testament, this term is used to emphasize the unique and divine nature of certain figures, particularly in relation to priesthood and eternal existence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/3384.htm">métér</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>without a mother<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>without mother (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 282: ἀμήτωρ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμήτωρ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ορος</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">μήτηρ</span>), <span class="accented">without a mother, motherless</span>; in Greek writings: <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">born without a mother,</span> e. g.
