Strong's Lexicon Tselophchad: Zelophehad Original Word: צְלָפְחָד Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: צֵל (tsel, meaning "shadow") and פָּחַד (pachad, meaning "fear" or "dread"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Zelophehad, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of inheritance and legal rights can be related to Greek terms like κληρονομία (kleronomia, meaning "inheritance"). Usage: Zelophehad is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "shadow of fear" or "protection from dread." It is used to identify a specific individual from the tribe of Manasseh, who had no sons but five daughters. Cultural and Historical Background: Zelophehad lived during the time of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings after the Exodus from Egypt. His account is significant in the context of Israelite inheritance laws. In a patriarchal society where inheritance typically passed through male descendants, Zelophehad's daughters challenged the norms by petitioning for their right to inherit their father's land. This led to a divine ruling that established a precedent for inheritance rights for daughters in the absence of sons, reflecting a shift towards greater equity within the tribal system.
