<div> '''1: Συροφοινίκισσα ''' (Strong'S #4949 | <div> '''1: '''''Συροφοινίκισσα''''' ''' (Strong'S #4949 — Noun [[Feminine]] — surophoinikissa | surophunissa — soo-rof-oy'-nis-sah ) </div> <p> occurs in Mark 7:26 as the national name of a woman called "a [[Canaanitish]] woman" in Matthew 15:22 , i.e., not a [[Jewess]] but a descendant of the early inhabitants of the coastland of Phoenicia. The word probably denoted a [[Syrian]] residing in [[Phoenicia]] proper. There is a tradition that the woman's name was Justa and her daughter [[Bernice]] (Clementine Homilies, 2:19; 3:73). In Acts 21:2,3 , the two parts of the term are used interchangeably. </p> | ||
