Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Shiph'iy" as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to Israelite genealogy. However, the concept of lineage and tribal identity can be seen in Greek terms like "φυλή" (phylē), meaning "tribe." Usage: The term "Shiph'iy" refers to a descendant or member of the family of Shephupham, a clan within the tribe of Benjamin. It is used to denote lineage and tribal affiliation, emphasizing the importance of family and heritage in the Israelite community. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, tribal and familial affiliations were crucial for identity, inheritance, and social structure. The tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, played a significant role in the history of Israel, with notable figures such as King Saul emerging from this tribe. The mention of specific clans, like the Shiphites, highlights the detailed genealogical records maintained by the Israelites, which were essential for preserving tribal boundaries and inheritance rights.
