The Definition of the word Orphans

Orphans

(Lam. 5:3), i.e., desolate and without protectors. The word occurs only here. In John 14:18 the word there rendered "comfortless (R.V., "desolate;" marg., "orphans") properly" "means "orphans." The same Greek word is rendered "fatherless" in" James 1:27.
