Lady

la'-di: This word should be taken in the sense of "mistress" in Isa 47:5; Isa 47:7 (Hebrew gebhereth) (so the American Standard Revised Version). In Judg 5:29; Eat 1:18 it is the translation of another Hebrew word (sarah), best rendered "princess" (so the Revised Version (British and American) in Esther, but not in Judges). In 2 John 1:1; John 1:5 it is the translation of kuria, which some interpreters regard as a proper name.

See CYRIA; JOHN, THE EPISTLES OF; ELECT LADY.
