Literally, it refers to a female sibling, while figuratively, it can denote a close female relative or a fellow believer in the faith community. Literal Use: 1. Biological Sisters: The Bible provides numerous examples of biological sisters. One of the earliest mentions is of Rebekah, who is identified as the sister of Laban (<a href="/genesis/24-29.htm">Genesis 24:29</a>). Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Laban, are also prominent sisters in the biblical narrative, both becoming wives of Jacob (<a href="/genesis/29-16.htm">Genesis 29:16-30</a>). 2. Sister Relationships: The relationship between sisters is depicted with varying dynamics. For instance, Miriam is the sister of Moses and Aaron, and she plays a significant role in the Exodus narrative (<a href="/exodus/15-20.htm">Exodus 15:20</a>). Her protective nature is evident when she watches over Moses as he is placed in the Nile (<a href="/exodus/2-4.htm">Exodus 2:4</a>). Figurative Use: 1. Spiritual Kinship: In the New Testament, the term "sister" is often used to describe a female member of the Christian community. Paul, in his letters, frequently refers to women in the church as "sisters," emphasizing the familial bond among believers. For example, in <a href="/romans/16.htm">Romans 16:1</a>, he commends Phoebe, a deaconess of the church in Cenchreae, as "our sister." 2. Moral and Ethical Teachings: The Bible also uses the term "sister" in moral teachings. In <a href="/1_timothy/5-2.htm">1 Timothy 5:2</a>, Paul instructs Timothy to treat "older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity." This underscores the respect and purity expected in relationships within the Christian community. Cultural and Historical Context: In ancient Israelite society, sisters held significant roles within the family structure. They were often involved in household duties and could influence family decisions, as seen in the account of Rebekah and Jacob (Genesis 27). The cultural context of the time placed a strong emphasis on family loyalty and honor, which is reflected in the biblical narratives involving sisters. Notable Sisters in the Bible: · Miriam: As the sister of Moses and Aaron, Miriam is a prophetess and leader among the Israelites. Her song of victory after the crossing of the Red Sea is one of the earliest examples of Hebrew poetry (<a href="/exodus/15-20.htm">Exodus 15:20-21</a>). · Mary and Martha: These sisters are known for their close relationship with Jesus. The account of Jesus visiting their home highlights the balance between service and devotion (<a href="/luke/10-38.htm">Luke 10:38-42</a>). · Tamar: The sister of Absalom, Tamar's tragic account is a poignant reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by women in biblical times (2 Samuel 13). Theological Implications: The concept of sisterhood in the Bible extends beyond familial ties to encompass the spiritual family of God. This spiritual kinship is foundational to the Christian understanding of community, where believers are called to support, love, and respect one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. The use of "sister" in Scripture serves as a reminder of the unity and equality that should characterize the body of Christ, transcending social and cultural barriers.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>SisterIn the style of the Hebrews, "sister" had equal latitude with "brother."
