Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew term עָפְנִי (Ophni) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogical records. However, the concept of genealogical records and tribal affiliations can be found in various Greek terms related to lineage and heritage, such as γενεά (genea, Strong's Greek 1074) meaning "generation" or "race," and φυλή (phyle, Strong's Greek 5443) meaning "tribe" or "nation." Usage: The term עָפְנִי (Ophni) is used as a proper noun to denote a person from the town of Ophni. It appears in genealogical contexts within the Hebrew Bible. Context: • The term עָפְנִי (Ophni) is found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. It is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:12, where it lists the descendants of Benjamin, specifically noting the sons of Elpaal. The passage reads: "The sons of Elpaal: Eber, Misham, Shemed (who built Ono and Lod with its towns), Beriah, and Shema (who were heads of the families living in Aijalon and who drove out the inhabitants of Gath), Ahio, Shashak, Jeremoth, Zebadiah, Arad, Eder, Michael, Ishpah, and Joha were the sons of Beriah." The name Ophni is associated with the town of Ophni, which is believed to be located in the territory of Benjamin, though its exact location remains uncertain. The genealogical listing serves to establish the lineage and territorial claims of the Benjamite families.
