Source: archive.org: Smith's Bible DictionaryMother refers to:—The superiority of the Hebrew over all contemporaneous systems of legislation and of morals is strongly shown in the higher estimation of the mother in the Jewish family, as contrasted with modern Oriental as well as ancient Oriental and classical usage. The king’s mother, as appears in the case of Bath-sheba, was treated with special honor. (Exodus 20:12; Leviticus 19:3; 5:16; 21:18,21; 1 Kings 2:29; Proverbs 10:1; 15:20; 17:25; 29:15; 31:1,30)

Hence the source of Joseph's peculiar interest in Benjamin is indicated in , by his being his mother's son.' The other brethren were the sons of his father by other wives. Nevertheless, when this precision was not necessary, the step-mother was sometimes styled mother. Thus Jacob speaks of Leah as Joseph's mother, for his real mother had long been dead.

King Solomon rose up to meet and bowed himself unto Bathsheba, and set her on his right hand (Leviticus 19:3). Figuratively, a city is mother of the surrounding villages its daughters (Joshua 15:45; 2 Samuel 20:19). Ezekiel (Ezekiel 21:21) uses "mother of the way" for the parting of the way into two roads which branch from it, as from a common parent; however, Havernick, from a Arabic idiom, translated it as "the highway."
