Strong's Lexicon Sepharvi: Sepharvite Original Word: סְפַרְוִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root סְפַר (sepher), meaning "book" or "scroll," possibly indicating a place associated with writing or record-keeping. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Sepharvi" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific proper noun related to a historical and geographical context unique to the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The term "Sepharvi" refers to the inhabitants of Sepharvaim, a city mentioned in the context of the Assyrian Empire. The Sepharvites were one of the groups resettled in Samaria by the Assyrians after the conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Sepharvaim is believed to have been a city located in Mesopotamia, possibly near modern-day Syria or Iraq. During the 8th century BC, the Assyrian Empire, under kings like Shalmaneser V and Sargon II, practiced a policy of deporting conquered peoples to prevent rebellion. The Sepharvites were among those relocated to Samaria, where they brought their own religious practices, including the worship of their gods, Adrammelech and Anammelech.
