Strong's Lexicon Shumathi: Shumathite Original Word: שֻׁמָתִי Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּם (shum), meaning "to place" or "to set." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Shumathi" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to Israelite genealogy. Usage: The term "Shumathi" refers to a descendant or inhabitant of Shumath, a location or clan mentioned in the genealogies of the Bible. It is used to identify a specific group or family lineage within the broader context of Israelite tribes. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, genealogies and tribal affiliations were crucial for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and social status. The mention of Shumathi would have signified a connection to a particular heritage and possibly a specific geographical region. Such designations were important for maintaining the continuity of family lines and fulfilling covenantal promises.
