Strong's Lexicon Sepharvi: Sepharvite Original Word: סְפַרְוִי Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: Cpharviy Pronunciation: seh-far-VEE Phonetic Spelling: (sef-ar-vee') Definition: a Sepharvite Meaning: A Sepharvite; an inhabitant of Sepharvaim. Word Origin: Derived from the name סְפַרְוַיִם (Sepharvaim), a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term סְפַרְוִי (Sepharvite) as it is a specific proper noun referring to a group of people from a particular location. However, the concept of foreign peoples and their gods is addressed in various Greek terms related to idolatry and foreign nations. Usage: The term "Sepharvite" is used to refer to the people originating from the city of Sepharvaim. It appears in the context of the Assyrian resettlement of conquered peoples. Context: The Sepharvites were a group of people mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Assyrian Empire's policy of relocating conquered populations. The city of Sepharvaim, from which the Sepharvites originated, is referenced in 2 Kings 17:24 and 2 Kings 17:31. The Assyrian king brought people from various regions, including Sepharvaim, to repopulate the cities of Samaria after the Israelites were exiled. The Sepharvites, along with other groups, continued their own religious practices, which included the worship of their gods. In 2 Kings 17:31, it is noted that the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. This practice was part of the syncretistic religious environment that developed in Samaria following the Assyrian resettlement.
