Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek entry related to the concept of a specific group or people is Strong's Greek Number G4594 (Σημερινός, Sēmerinos), which means "of today" or "present." While not directly related to the term "Shimronite," it reflects the idea of identifying a group or people by a specific characteristic or origin, similar to how the Shimronites are identified by their lineage or place of origin.

Usage: The term "Shimronite" is used to refer to individuals who are descendants of or inhabitants of the city of Shimron. It appears in the context of genealogical records and tribal affiliations within the nation of Israel.

Context: • The term "Shimronite" is specifically used to denote members of the tribe or family line originating from Shimron, one of the sons of Issachar. Shimron is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel, highlighting the importance of lineage and tribal identity in the Hebrew Bible.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term appears in the context of the division of the land among the tribes of Israel and the listing of family heads. For example, in Numbers 26:24, the descendants of Shimron are listed among the clans of Issachar: "These were the clans of Issachar, and their registration numbered 64,300."
• The city of Shimron itself is noted as one of the cities in the territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun, as seen in Joshua 19:15: "Included were Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem—twelve cities, along with their villages."
• The Shimronites, therefore, are associated with both the tribal heritage of Issachar and the geographical region within Zebulun's territory, reflecting the complex intertribal relationships and settlements in ancient Israel.
