This is seen in entries like Strong's Hebrew 1 (אָב), which is foundational in understanding paternal references in the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "patrikos" is used to describe something that pertains to or is characteristic of a father. It conveys the idea of paternal qualities, inheritance, or lineage. In the context of the New Testament, it may refer to traditions, customs, or characteristics passed down from one's ancestors or forefathers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "patrikos" would have been significant in understanding family lineage, inheritance rights, and social status. The paternal line was often emphasized in genealogies and legal matters. In Jewish culture, the father's house or lineage was crucial in determining tribal affiliation and inheritance, as seen in the genealogies of the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3962.htm">patér</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>paternal, ancestral<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ancestral (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 3967: πατρικός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πατρικός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πατρική</span>, <span class="greek2">πατρικόν</span> (<span class="greek2">πατήρ</span>),<span class="accented">paternal, ancestral,</span> equivalent to handed down by or received from one's fathers: <a href="/interlinear/galatians/1-14.htm">Galatians 1:14</a>.
