lin´ḗ - ā́j ( πατριά , patriā ): Found only once in   Luke 2:4 (the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) "family"), and signifying the line of paternal family descent. A word pregnant in meaning among the Jews, who kept all family records with religious care, as may be seen from the long genealogical records found everywhere in the Old Testament.

( Πατριά , paternal Descent, "Kindred,"  Acts 3:25; "family,"  Ephesians 3:15), a family or race ( Luke 2:4). (See Genealogy).
