Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּן (Shun), which is not explicitly defined in the Hebrew Bible but is associated with the name of a person or place.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew proper noun שׁוּנִי (Shuni) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific name related to Hebrew tribal lineage. However, the concept of tribal lineage and genealogical records can be found in various Greek terms related to tribes and families in the New Testament, such as φυλή (phylē • tribe) and γένος (genos • race, kind, family).

Usage: The term "Shuni" is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible to denote a member of the tribe of Gad, specifically one of the sons of Gad, who was a son of Jacob. The descendants of Shuni are referred to as Shunites.

Context: • Shuni is listed as one of the sons of Gad, the seventh son of Jacob, and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The genealogical records in the Bible mention Shuni as part of the tribal lineage of Gad, which was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Gad settled on the eastern side of the Jordan River, in the region known for its pastoral lands.
• In the Book of Numbers, Shuni is mentioned in the census of the Israelites as the progenitor of the Shunite clan. Numbers 26:15 (BSB) states: "These were the descendants of Gad by their clans: The Zephonite clan from Zephon, the Haggite clan from Haggi, the Shunite clan from Shuni."
• The Shunites, as descendants of Shuni, were part of the larger tribal confederation of Gad, which played a significant role in the history of Israel, particularly during the conquest of Canaan and the subsequent settlement period.
