Usage: Tsophach is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a descendant of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name Tsophach is not widely used in the biblical text, indicating it may have been a less prominent figure or family within the tribe.

The genealogies in the Bible, including those mentioning Tsophach, served to establish tribal and familial identities, which were crucial for inheritance rights and social structure.
