It signifies a group of people connected by a common ancestry or heritage. In the New Testament, it is used to denote both physical and spiritual lineages, emphasizing the importance of familial and tribal connections in the cultural context of the time.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, family and tribal affiliations were central to one's identity and social standing. Lineage determined inheritance rights, social responsibilities, and religious duties. The concept of "πατριά" reflects the patriarchal structure of society, where family ties were crucial for maintaining social order and continuity. This term also underscores the collective identity of the people of Israel as descendants of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<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>lineage, family<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>families (1), family (2).<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 3965: πατριά</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πατριά</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πατριᾶς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">πατήρ</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">lineage running back to some progenitor, ancestry</span>: <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 2, 143; 3, 75. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a race or tribe,</span> i. e. <span class="accented">a group of families, all those who in a given people lay claim to a common origin</span>: <span class="greek2">εἰσί</span> <span class="greek2">ἀυτεων</span> (<span class="greek2">Βαβυλωνίων</span>) <span class="greek2">πατριαί</span> <span class="greek2">τρεῖς</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 1, 200.
