<p> '''''bruth´ẽr''''' -'''''hood''''' : The rare occurrence of the term (only Zechariah 11:14 and 1 Peter 2:17 ) in contrast with the abundant use of "brother," "brethren," seems to indicate that the sense of the vital relation naturally called for the most concrete expression: "the brethren." But in 1 Peter 2:17 the abstract is used for the concrete. In the Old [[Testament]] the brotherhood of all [[Israelites]] was emphasized; but in the New Testament the brotherhood in [[Christ]] is a relation so much deeper and stronger as to eclipse the other.
