Strong's Lexicon Sheshay: Sheshai Original Word: שֵׁשַׁי Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Sheshay Pronunciation: SHAY-shay Phonetic Spelling: (shay-shah'-ee) Definition: Sheshai Meaning: Sheshai Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be white Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Sheshai, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the Greek term for giants, "γίγαντες" (gigantes), may be contextually related. Usage: Sheshai is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to one of the three sons of Anak, who were giants living in Hebron during the time of the Israelite conquest of Canaan. The name may imply a characteristic of being "white" or "noble." Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical narrative, the Anakim were a formidable race of giants inhabiting the land of Canaan. They were descendants of Anak and were known for their great size and strength. The presence of the Anakim, including Sheshai, in Hebron posed a significant challenge to the Israelites as they sought to claim the Promised Land. The conquest of Hebron and the defeat of the Anakim were pivotal in establishing Israelite control over Canaan.
