It emphasizes the idea of mutual responsibility and ethical conduct among members of a community. The term is used to describe relationships that are characterized by trust, loyalty, and shared values.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, community and kinship were central to daily life. The concept of "amith" reflects the importance of social bonds and the ethical obligations individuals had toward one another. This was a society where communal living and mutual support were essential for survival and prosperity. The term underscores the biblical principle of loving one's neighbor and acting justly within the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an associate, fellow, relation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>another (2), associate (1), companion (2), friend (2), friend's (1), neighbor (3), neighbor's (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> [<font class="hebrew2">עָמִית</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Leviticus 18:20</sup> <font size="+1"><b>associate, fellow, relation</b></font> (perhaps originally feminine abstract <em>association</em>, compare <font class="hebrew2">מֶּחָה</font>); — always suffix: <font class="hebrew2">גֶּבֶר עֲמִיתִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/13-7.htm">Zechariah 13:7</a> <em>a man</em> (who is) <em>my fellow</em>; elsewhere only Leviticus: <font class="hebrew2">עֲמִיתוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/5-21.htm">Zechariah 5:21</a> (twice in verse); reciprocal <font class="hebrew2">אִישׁ בַּעֲמִיתוֺ</font> Zech 19:11; Zech 24:19, cf .
