It can also extend to a broader sense of kinship, including relatives or fellow countrymen. In some contexts, it is used metaphorically to refer to close associates or allies.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "brother" extended beyond immediate family to include members of one's tribe or nation. The familial bond was crucial in the social structure of Israel, where kinship determined inheritance rights, social responsibilities, and alliances. The term "ach" reflects the importance of family and community in maintaining social order and religious identity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ah!, alas!<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ah (1), alas (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> III. <font class="hebrew2">אָח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>interjection</b></font> (onomatopoetic) ah! alas! <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/6-11.htm">Ezekiel 6:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-20.htm">Ezekiel 21:20</a>. <font size="+1">**</font>Ezek 18:10 <font class="hebrew2">אָח</font> is a <em>vox nihili</em> (dittograph from following <font class="hebrew2">אחד</font>: see Commentaries): in <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-10.htm">Ezekiel 21:10</a> also dubious (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">εὖ</font>), read <font class="hebrew2">אַח</font> Ew Hi Sm Toy, <font class="hebrew2">חַדָּה</font> Co Berthol, <font class="hebrew2">אַתְּ</font> Oort Krae. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>ah, alas <p>A variation for <a href="/hebrew/162.htm">'ahahh</a>; Oh!
