It conveys a deep sense of connection and mutual support, often extending beyond biological relationships to include spiritual and communal ties.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of brotherhood was foundational to societal structure. The family unit was the primary social entity, and relationships within this unit were governed by strong bonds of loyalty and mutual responsibility. Brotherhood extended to tribal affiliations and was a key element in maintaining social cohesion and collective identity among the Israelites. This concept was not only limited to blood relations but also included those who shared common beliefs and values, reflecting the communal nature of ancient Hebrew society.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2331.htm">chavah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a declaration<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>declaration (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">אַחְוָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>declaration</b></font> (in form, an Aramaic Aphel Infinitive) — only suffix <font class="hebrew2">וְאַחְוָתִי כְּאָזְנֵיֶכם׃</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/13-17.htm">Job 13:17</a> (in "" line <font class="hebrew2">שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֺעַ מִלָּת֑י</font>). <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>declaration <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2331.htm">chavah</a> (in the sense of <a href="/hebrew/2324.htm">chava'</a>);
