Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Hophni, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Hophni is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to one of the sons of Eli, the high priest. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning in the text, but it is associated with the character's actions and narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: Hophni, along with his brother Phinehas, served as priests at the tabernacle in Shiloh during the time of the judges. They are infamously known for their corrupt practices and disregard for the sacrificial system, which was central to Israelite worship. Their actions contributed to the spiritual decline of Israel during this period. The narrative of Hophni and Phinehas serves as a backdrop to the rise of Samuel, a pivotal figure in Israel's history.
