In the Old Testament the orphan is a Hebrew word meaning ‘fatherless.’ The Bible most times refers to “widow” and “orphans” together, which makes sense if the term is defined as fatherless. Who or what is an orphan? You would think that would be an easy question to answer but definitions and perceptions vary greatly.
