Strong's Lexicon Naphish: Naphish Original Word: נָפִישׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root נָפַשׁ (naphash), meaning "to breathe" or "to be refreshed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Naphish, as it is specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the Greek term for Ishmaelites, which would include the descendants of Naphish, is Ἰσμαηλίτης (Ismaēlitēs) - Strong's Greek 2469. Usage: Naphish is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. Specifically, Naphish is one of the sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. The name is associated with one of the tribes that descended from Ishmael, known as the Ishmaelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Hebrew Bible, Naphish is one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, who is considered the progenitor of the Arab peoples. The Ishmaelites were nomadic tribes known for their trading and herding lifestyle. The mention of Naphish and his brothers highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that Ishmael would become a great nation (Genesis 17:20). The Ishmaelites played a significant role in the ancient Near Eastern trade networks and had interactions with the Israelites, as seen in the account of Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers to Ishmaelite traders (Genesis 37:25-28).
