Strong's Lexicon Vashni: Vashni Original Word: וַשִׁנִי Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Vashniy Pronunciation: VASH-nee Phonetic Spelling: (vash-nee') Definition: Vashni Meaning: Vashni is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is understood to mean "second." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁנִי (shani), meaning "second." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Vashni, as it is a unique proper noun found in the Old Testament genealogies. Usage: Vashni is used as a personal name in the Old Testament. It appears in genealogical records. Context: Vashni is a name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Levi. It is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 6:28 (BSB), where it is listed as the firstborn son of Samuel, the prophet and judge of Israel. However, there is a textual consideration regarding the name Vashni. In the parallel account in 1 Samuel 8:2, the firstborn son of Samuel is named Joel, not Vashni. This discrepancy has led scholars to suggest that "Vashni" might have originally been a scribal error or a textual corruption. The name "Vashni" could have been intended to indicate "and the second," referring to Abijah, Samuel's second son, with the name of the firstborn, Joel, being omitted in the Chronicles account. This interpretation aligns with the meaning of the root שָׁנִי (shani), which means "second." NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin another reading for sheni, q.v.
