Nurse
VIEW:22 DATA:01-04-2020
NURSE.Healthy women among the Hebrews in ancient times were accustomed to suckle their own children (Gen_21:7). As in Palestine to-day, the child was suckled for a long time, sometimes as much as three years (1Sa_1:23 f., 2Ma_7:27). Weaning was the occasion of a joyful feast (Gen_21:8, 1Sa_1:24). But the nurse was also found in olden times in Israel, and was often held in great affection and honour (Gen_24:59; Gen_35:8, Exo_2:7, 2Ki_11:2, Isa_49:23, 1Th_2:7). The nurse, mçneqeth, must be distinguished from the ômeneth, tr. [Note: translate or translation.] nurse in Rth_4:18, 2Sa_4:4, which means the attendant in charge of the child.

Anciently a position of honour; so Deborah ("seen"), Gen_24:59; Gen_35:8; Rut_4:16. (See DEBORAH.) Figuratively; Moses was "as a nursing father bearing the sucking child" (Num_11:12). So Isa_49:23. So Paul, "we were gentle" (so the Alexandrinus manuscript and the Ephraemi Rescriptus (C), epioi, but the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus 'infants,' neepioi) among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her own (Greek) children" (1Th_2:7).

Nurse. In ancient times, the position of the nurse, wherever one was maintained, was one of much honor and importance. See Gen_24:59; Gen 36;8; 2Sa_4:4; 2Ki_11:2. The same term is applied to a foster-father or mother, for example, Num_11:12; Rth_4:16; Isa_49:23.

The nurse in an eastern family is always an important personage. Modern travellers inform us, that in Syria she is considered as a sort of second parent, whether she has been foster-mother, or otherwise. She always accompanies the bride to her husband's house, and ever remains there an honoured character. Thus it was in ancient Greece. This will serve to explain Gen_24:59 : And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse. In Hindostan the nurse is not looked upon as a stranger, but becomes one of the family, and passes the remainder of her life in the midst of the children she has suckled, by whom she is honoured and cherished as a second mother. In many parts of Hindostan are mosques and mausoleums, built by the Mohammedan princes, near the sepulchres of their nurses. They are excited by a grateful affection to erect these structures in memory of those who with maternal anxiety watched over their helpless infancy: thus it has been from time immemorial.

Num_11:12 (a) Moses uses this type to indicate the sweet, tender relationship which existed between his heart and the people of Israel who are here compared to his children.
Isa_49:23 (a) This is descriptive of the manner and method by which the Gentile rulers will be made to serve the nation of Israel with their wealth and their power in the day of the millennium.
1Th_2:7 (a) Paul thus describes his loving care for GOD's people.

Nurse
(properly אֹמֵן, omen', masc., τιθηνός, nutrix. nutritius; fem. אֹמֶנֶת, ome'neth, τιθηνός, nutrix; from אָמִן, to carry [see Isa_60:4]; usually מֵינֶקֶת, meyne'keth, fem. part. Hiph., from יָנִקsuck, with אַשָּׁהγυνὴ τροφεύουσα [Exo_2:7]; in the N.T. τροφός , nutrix [1Th_2:7]). Moses applied this term to himself in relation to Israel, though only to exiress his inability to fulfill what it required, or his sense of oppression under the responsibility involved in it (Num_11:12). But more commonly it is applied to women, and much apparently in the same manner and with the same regard that is usual among ourselves. It is clear, both from Scripture and from Greek and Roman writers, that in ancient times the position of the nurse. wherever one was maintained, was one of much hone and importance (see Gen_24:59; Gen_35:8; 2Sa_4:4; 2Ki_11:2; 2Ma_1:20; comp. Homer, Od. 2:361; 19:15, 251, 466; Eurip. Ion, i357; Hippol. 267 and foll.; Virgil, AEn. 7:1). The same term is applied to a foster father or mother, e.g. Num_11:12; Rth_4:16; Isa_49:23. In great families male servants, probably eunuchs in later times, were intrusted with the charge of the boys (2Ki_1:5; see also Kuran, 4:63, Tegg's ed.; Mrs. Poole, Englw. in Egypt, 3:201). SEE CHILD.
In Christian times nursing the sick has ever been the special care of pious females, and many have devoted themselves to this work, in hospitals and elsewhere, both in war and peace, with religious earnestness. Among the Roman Catholics this is one of the special duties of the Sisters of Charity.
