Words similar to bethulah

Example sentences for: bethulah

How can you use “bethulah” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

down; Sept. chiefly for bethulah, several times for na`arah; twice for `almah ...)
My old lexicon also points out, as does Jack Orbaum, that the customary word for `virgin' is bethulah, not `almah .
Gesenius-Robinson, by the way, translates bethulah as “a virgin pure and unspotted,” “a virgin just married,” and “a young spouse” (see Joel 1:8, where bethulah is translated by the Septuagint as nymphe, “a betrothed woman, a bride,” “a recently married woman, young wife”-- Thayer).
.” So we see that the Greek word “chiefly” chosen by the Septuagint scholars to mean parthenos is the word bethulah , which Mr. Orbaum stresses is “the Hebrew word for virgin .” But the Jewish scholars of the Septuagint also chose the word parthenos to translate `almah in Isaiah 7:14, where one might have expected a less specific word.
It may be worth noting here that Martin Luther used the word Jungfrau to translate `almah , bethulah , and parthenos . Jungfrau , although referring almost exclusively to `virgin' in present-day German, has the literal root sense of `young woman,' or `young wife.
