Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Imri, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a Greek equivalent in the New Testament. Usage: The name Imri appears in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. It is used to identify individuals within the lineage of the Israelites. Context: Imri is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the post-exilic community. In 1 Chronicles 9:4, Imri is listed as an ancestor of Uthai, a descendant of Judah. The passage reads: "Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the descendants of Perez son of Judah." This reference places Imri within the tribe of Judah, highlighting his role in the lineage that traces back to Perez, one of the sons of Judah. The genealogical records serve to establish the continuity and heritage of the Israelite community, particularly after the Babylonian exile. Imri's mention underscores the importance of maintaining tribal and familial identities within the broader narrative of Israel's history.
