Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(wife-man). Hebrew women cared for the household (Gen. 18:6); carried water (Gen. 24:15); tended flocks (Gen. 29:6); spun (Ex. 35:26); made clothes (1 Sam. 2:19); acted as hostess and guest on social occasions (Job 1:4; John 2:3; 12:2); prophesied, composed, sang, and danced (Ex. 15:20-21; Judg. 11:31; 21:21); feted (1 Sam. 18:6-7); held public positions (Judg. 4; 5; 2 Kings 22:14; Neh. 6:14; Luke 2:36); were workers in the Church (Acts 18:18,26; Rom. 16:1).
“Begotten” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
1. From γεμμάω, “to beget.” This word is used
a) for the natural generation of mankind, as in Matthew 1.
b) for the spiritual generation of the Christian. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “In Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” (1 Cor. 4:15); and of Onesimus he says, “whom I have begotten in my bonds” (Philem. 1:10) signifying that he had been the means of their conversion; for the Christian is begotten of God (1 John 5:18; 1 Pet. 1:3).
c) for the Lord Jesus, when He became a man, conceived (begotten) of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 1:20); and declared in those words of Jehovah to Him, “Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee” (Psa. 2:7; Acts 13:33; Heb. 1:5; Heb. 5:5).
d) μόνοτγενής, a name of peculiar affection for the Lord Jesus in His eternal Sonship as existing before He came into the world, and referred to as the only begotten Son, the only begotten of the Father (John 1:14, 18; John 3:16,18). It is here used as the equivalent of a Hebrew word (yachid) which signifies “only one,” and hence “darling” (Gen. 22:2; Psa. 22:20; Psa. 35:17).
2. πρωτότοκος, applied to the Lord Jesus as “the first-begotten,” or rather “the firstborn” as marking His supremacy above all. The angels were called to worship Him when He was brought into the world (Heb. 1:6); and He is said to be the firstborn from among the dead (Rev. 1:5).
“Woman” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
It is evident from scripture that women were anciently held in much more honor and esteem in Eastern countries than they are now. Solomon, speaking of women, said that such as his soul sought for he did not find one in a thousand (Eccl. 7:28). This tells of fallen human nature; but the true thought of woman is that she is the glory of the man, his true helpmeet. This is fulfilled in the relationship of the church to Christ.
In the New Testament the true place of the woman in subjection to the man is plainly stated, as indicated in creation; and in the assembly the woman is to be silent, and not to teach. Her bearing and deportment are expressive of what she learns as taught of Christ (1 Cor. 11:3-15; 1 Cor. 14:34-35; 1 Tim. 2:11-12). Nevertheless women were greatly honored in ministering to the Lord, and are accredited as helping on the work of the Lord in the gospel and among the saints (Luke 8:2-3; Luke 8:23:27, 55-56; Rom. 16:1, 3, 6; Phil. 4:2-3; 2 John 1:1, 10).
