Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this word, which in the NT is confined to the OT quot. in Hebrews 3:5, cf. BGU I. 361 iii. 18 (A.D. 184) ἐὰν μεταπέμψῃ Κρονοῦν θεράπ [οντα ] αὐτοῦ, μαρτυρήσει κτλ. In connexion with its LXX usage, Thackeray (Gr. i. p. 7 f.) has pointed out the interesting fact that it is gradually superseded in the later books by the less intimate and confidential terms οἰκέτης, παῖς, and δοῦλος, in keeping with the growing tendency to emphasize the distance between God and man.

The fem. θεράπαινα (cf. Rutherford NP, p. 22) occurs in P Giss I. 34.6 (A.D. 265–6) τὴν τούτ ̣ο ̣υ θε [ρ ]άπαιναν, P Oxy XII. 1468.13 (c. A.D. 258) θεράπαινα Θαῆσις.
