Text:EBD:Orphans
Revision as of 20:53, 14 November 2008 by Kathleen.wright5 (talk | contribs) (Orphans (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Orphans)
(Lam. 5:3), i.e., desolate and without protectors. The word occurs only here. In John 14:18 the word there rendered "comfortless" (R.V., "desolate;" marg., "orphans") properly means "orphans." The same Greek word is rendered "fatherless" in James 1:27.
