pilegesh
Pilegesh ((ヘブライ語:פִּילֶגֶשׁ)) is a Hebrew term for a concubine with similar social and legal standing to a recognized wife, often for the purpose of producing offspring.
The Torah may distinguish concubines and "sub-standard" wives with the prefix "to" (eg., lit. "took to wives").〔(Women, similar to wives ) from vadimcherny.org〕
==Etymology==
The term ''pilegesh'' comes from a non-Hebrew, non-Semitic loanword deriving from the Greek word ''pallakis'' (Greek ''παλλακίς'')〔Michael Lieb, ''Milton and the culture of violence'', p. 274, Cornell University Press, 1994〕〔Marc Lee Raphael, ''Agendas for the study of Midrash in the twenty-first century'', p. 136, Dept. of Religion, College of William and Mary, 1999〕〔Nicholas Clapp, ''Sheba: Through the Desert in Search of the Legendary Queen'', p. 297, Houghton Mifflin, 2002〕 meaning a mistress staying in house; there is a common but unfounded view that it derives from the Aramaic phrase ''plag isha'', meaning ''half-wife''.
In contemporary Israeli Hebrew, the word "pilegesh" is often used as the equivalent of English "mistress"—i.e. the female partner in extramarital relations even when these relations have no legal recognition.
