However, the concept of a freedman can be related to the Hebrew term "עֶבֶד" (eved), meaning "servant" or "slave," when considering the transition from slavery to freedom.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Libertinos" refers to a member of a group of Jews who were descendants of Jewish slaves freed by the Romans. These individuals were part of a synagogue in Jerusalem known as the Synagogue of the Freedmen. The term is used in the New Testament to describe a specific group that opposed Stephen, one of the first deacons of the early church.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Roman Empire, a "libertinus" was a freed slave who had been granted liberty but still retained certain obligations to their former master. The Jewish "Libertinos" were likely descendants of Jews who had been taken as slaves to Rome and later freed. They formed their own synagogue in Jerusalem, which served as a cultural and religious hub for these Hellenistic Jews. This group was known for its strong adherence to Jewish traditions and its opposition to the early Christian movement.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Freedman, the name of a synagogue<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Freedmen (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 3032: Λιβερτῖνος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Λιβερτῖνος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Λιβερτινου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, a Latin word,<span class="latin">libertinus</span>, i. e. either <span class="accented">one who has been liberated from slavery, a freedman, or the son of a freedman</span> (as distinguished from<span class="latin">ingenuus</span>, i. e. the son of a free man): <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">συναγωγή</span> <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">λεγομένη</span> (or <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">λεγομένων</span> <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span>) <span class="greek2">Λιβερτίνων</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/6-9.htm">Acts 6:9</a>.

Others, owing to the names <span class="greek2">Κυρηναίων</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">Ἀλλεξανδρεων</span> that follow, think that a geographical meaning is demanded for <span class="greek2">Λιβερτινοι</span>, and suppose that Jews are spoken of, the dwellers in Libertum, a city or region of proconsular Africa. But the existence of a city or region called Libertum is a conjecture which has nothing to rest on but the mention of a bishop with the prefix <span class="accented">libertinensis</span> at the synod of Carthage <DATE_RANGE:411><span class="date">A.D. 411</span>. Others with far greater probability appeal to <span class="abbreviation">Philo</span>, leg. ad Gaium § 23, and understand the word as denoting Jews who had been made captives by the Romans under Pompey but were afterward set free; and who, although they had fixed their abode at Rome, had built at their own expense a synagogue at Jerusalem which they frequented when in that city. The name <span class="accented">Libertines</span> adhered to them to distinguish them from the free-born Jews who had subsequently taken up their residence at Rome. Cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s RWB under the word Libertiner; Hausrath in <span class="abbreviation">Schenkel</span> iv., 38f; (<span class="abbreviation">B.
