Zarchi: Zarchite

Original Word: זַרְחִי
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: Zarchiy
Pronunciation: zar-KHEE
Phonetic Spelling: (zar-khee')
Definition: Zarchite
Meaning: a Zarchite

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָרַח (zarach), meaning "to rise" or "to shine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Zarchi" as it is a specific Hebrew familial designation. However, the concept of lineage and descent is present in Greek terms like "γενεά" (genea, meaning "generation" or "race") and "φυλή" (phyle, meaning "tribe").

Usage: The term "Zarchi" refers to a descendant or member of the family of Zerah, one of the sons of Judah. It is used to identify individuals or groups associated with this lineage.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, tribal and familial affiliations were significant for identity, inheritance, and social structure. The Zarchites, as descendants of Zerah, were part of the larger tribe of Judah, which held a prominent position among the tribes of Israel. The tribe of Judah was known for its leadership and was the lineage from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended.
