Strong's Lexicon Nachor: Nahor Original Word: נָחוֹר Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Nachowr Pronunciation: nah-KHOR Phonetic Spelling: (naw-khore') Definition: Nahor Meaning: Nochor Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נָחַר (nâchar), meaning "to snort" or "to breathe hard." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Nahor in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogies. Usage: Nahor is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, primarily associated with two individuals. The first Nahor is the son of Serug and the grandfather of Abraham (Genesis 11:22-25). The second Nahor is the brother of Abraham and the father of Bethuel, making him the grandfather of Rebekah (Genesis 22:20-23). Cultural and Historical Background: In the patriarchal narratives of Genesis, Nahor is a significant figure due to his familial connections. The name Nahor is emblematic of the early Semitic tribes and their genealogies, which are crucial for understanding the lineage of the Israelites. The family of Nahor, particularly through his granddaughter Rebekah, plays a pivotal role in the continuation of the Abrahamic covenant, as Rebekah becomes the wife of Isaac, Abraham's son.
