| 1 | Strong's Number: g3565 | Greek: numphe |
Bride, Bridechamber, Bridegroom:
(Eng. "nymph") "a bride, or young wife," Jhn 3:29; Rev 18:23; 21:2, 9; 22:17, is probably connected with the Latin nubo, "to veil;" the "bride" was often adorned with embroidery and jewels (see Rev 21:2), and was led veiled from her home to the "bridegroom." Hence the secondary meaning of "daughter-in-law," Mat 10:35; Luk 12:53.
See DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. For the relationship between Christ and a local church, under this figure, see 2Cr 11:2; regarding the whole Church, Eph 5:23-32; Rev 22:17.
| 2 | Strong's Number: g3566 | Greek: numphios |
Bride, Bridechamber, Bridegroom:
"a bridegroom," occurs fourteen times in the Gospels, and in Rev 18:23. "The friend of the bridegroom," Jhn 3:29, is distinct from "the sons of the bride-chamber" who were numerous. When John the Baptist speaks of "the friend of the Bridegroom," he uses language according to the customs of the Jews.
| 3 | Strong's Number: g3567 | Greek: numphon |
Bride, Bridechamber, Bridegroom:
signifies
(a) "the room or dining hall in which the marriage ceremonies were held," Mat 22:10; some mss. have gamos, "a wedding," here;
(b) "the chamber containing the bridal bed," "the sons of the bride-chamber" being the friends of the bridegroom, who had the charge of providing what was necessary for the nuptials, Mat 9:15; Mar 2:19; Luk 5:34.
