Berean Strong's Lexicon Zetham: Zetham Original Word: זֵיתָם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be olive-colored Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Zetham, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of temple service and the role of Levites can be related to Greek terms like "λειτουργία" (leitourgia), meaning service or ministry, which appears in the New Testament. Usage: Zetham is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to identify a specific individual, a Levite, who served in the temple during the reign of King David. The name itself may imply a connection to the olive tree, which is significant in biblical symbolism for peace, prosperity, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties and temple service. During King David's reign, the organization of temple service was a significant task, and individuals like Zetham played a role in maintaining the worship and rituals that were central to Israelite religious life. The olive tree, potentially alluded to in Zetham's name, was a vital part of the agrarian society, providing oil for anointing, lighting, and cooking.
