Ametor describes the figure in Hebrews 7:3 as lacking a mother in the verse’s lineage-related description.

The attested use describes a figure presented as without a mother within a sequence that also mentions father, genealogy, beginning of days, and end of life in Hebrews 7:3.

Senses in use

  1. Presented without a mother · dominant

    In Hebrews 7:3, the nominative singular masculine adjective occurs in a description of a figure placed alongside statements about being without father and without genealogy. The APB renders the sequence "Without father, without mother, without genealogy," before describing the figure as remaining a priest perpetually.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hebrews 7:3, the APB presents the term within the phrase "without mother." That wording is treated as the verse’s presentation of the clause rather than a separate lexical definition.
