Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shepho, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, genealogical names in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) are often transliterated directly from Hebrew.

Usage: Shepho is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a descendant of Seir the Horite. The name is associated with a clan or family group within the Horites, who were inhabitants of the region of Seir before the Edomites.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Horites were a group of people who lived in the region of Seir, which is located in the mountainous area of Edom, south of the Dead Sea. They are mentioned in the context of the genealogies of Esau, who intermarried with the Horites. The Horites were eventually assimilated into the Edomite nation. The mention of Shepho and other Horite names in the genealogies highlights the complex interrelations between different tribes and peoples in the ancient Near East.
