Strong's Lexicon Naamathi: Naamathite Original Word: נַעֲמָתִי Word Origin: Derived from נַעֲמָה (Naamah), meaning "pleasantness" or "delightful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Naamathi" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: The term "Naamathi" refers to an inhabitant of Naamah, a location whose exact historical and geographical details are not definitively known. In the Bible, it is used as a designation for one of Job's friends, Zophar, indicating his place of origin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Book of Job, Zophar the Naamathite is one of the three friends who come to comfort Job during his time of suffering. The friends' dialogues with Job reflect the ancient Near Eastern wisdom tradition, where discussions about divine justice, human suffering, and righteousness were common. The identity of Naamah itself is not clearly established in biblical or extrabiblical sources, but it is presumed to be a location in the region of Edom or Arabia, consistent with the geographical setting of the Book of Job.
