BASTARD An illegitimate child, but not necessarily a child born out of wedlock. The term could refer to offspring of an incestuous union or of a marriage that was prohibited (Lev. 18:6-20; 20:11-20). Illegitimate children were not permitted to enter the assembly of the Lord (Deut. 23:2). According to Hebrews, those who do not have the discipline of the Lord are illegitimate children (12:8). Also translated as “a mongrel people” (Zech. 9:6 NRSV).—Holman Bible Dictionary BASTARD bas'-tard (Hebrew [mamzer]; Greek [nothos]): In Dt 23:2 probably the offspring of an incestuous union, or of a marriage within the prohibited degrees of affinity (Lev 18:6-20; Lev 20:10-21). He and his descendants to the tenth generation are excluded from the assembly of the Lord. (See Driver, at the place). Zechariah (Zec. 9:6), after prophesying the overthrow of three Philistine cities, declares of the fourth: "And a bastard (the Revised Version, margin "a bastard race") shall dwell in Ashdod," meaning probably that a "mixed population" (BDB) of aliens shall invade and settle in the capital of the Philistines. In Heb (Heb 12:8) in its proper sense of "born out of wedlock," and therefore not admitted to the privileges of paternal care and responsibility as a legitimate son. Definition Written By: T. Ress —International Standard Bible Encyclopedia BASTARD. The word occurs in the KJV in Deut. 23:2 and Zech. 9:6 (NASB, see Zech. 9:6, marg.). Its etymology is obscure, but it appears to denote anyone to whose birth a serious stain is attached. The rabbis applied the term not to any illegitimate offspring but to the issue of any connection within the degrees prohibited by the law (see Marriage). A very probable conjecture is that which applies the term to the offspring of heathen prostitutes in the neighborhood of Palestine who were priestesses of a sort to the Syrian goddess Astarte. In Zech. 9:6, the word is, doubtless, used in the sense of foreigner (so NIV; the NASB reads “mongrel”), expressing the deep degradation of Philistia in being conquered by other people. 1. Persons of illegitimate birth among the Jews had no claim to a share in the paternal inheritance or to the proper filial treatment of children of the family. This is what is referred to in Hebrews 12:8, where a contrast is drawn between the treatment that God’s true children might expect, as compared with that given to such as are not so related to Him but are “illegitimate.” 2. Persons of illegitimate birth are forbidden by the canon law from receiving any of the minor orders without a dispensation from the bishop; nor can they in the Latin church be admitted to holy orders or to benefices with cure of souls, except by a dispensation from the pope. In the Church of England a bastard cannot be admitted to orders without a dispensation from the sovereign or archbiship. BAT —New Unger's Bible Dictionary |
