Strong's Lexicon Eri: Eri Original Word: עֵרִי Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: `Eriy Pronunciation: ay-REE Phonetic Spelling: (ay-ree') Definition: a Erite Meaning: The term "Erite" refers to a descendant or member of the family of Er. Word Origin: Derived from the root עֵר (Er), which is a proper noun. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew term עֵרִי (Erite) in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific proper noun related to Hebrew genealogical records. Greek translations of the Old Testament, such as the Septuagint, may transliterate the name rather than translate it, maintaining its Hebrew form. Usage: The term is used as a proper noun to denote a member of the family or clan of Er, specifically in the context of genealogical records. Context: • The term "Erite" appears in the genealogical listings of the tribes of Israel. In the context of the Bible, it is used to identify a specific lineage within the tribe of Gad. The Eris were part of the larger tribal confederation that made up the people of Israel. The mention of the Eris in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family and tribal affiliations in ancient Israelite society. These records were crucial for maintaining the identity and heritage of the tribes, especially during times of settlement and territorial allocation. • In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Numbers 26:16: "The descendants of Gad by their clans were: through Zephon, the Zephonite clan; through Haggi, the Haggite clan; through Shuni, the Shunite clan; through Ozni, the Oznite clan; through Eri, the Erite clan." • The genealogical context highlights the structured nature of Israelite society, where each clan had its own identity and role within the larger tribal framework. The Eris, like other clans, would have had specific responsibilities and privileges within the tribe of Gad.
