Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yishpah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun.

Usage: Yishpah is a personal name found in the genealogies of the Bible. It is used to identify a specific individual within the tribe of Benjamin. The name itself may carry the connotation of "bare" or "swept away," though its exact meaning in the context of the name is not explicitly detailed in the biblical text. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The tribe of Benjamin, to which Yishpah belonged, was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its warriors and its strategic location in the land of Canaan. Genealogies were crucial in maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom shaphah Definition "He sweeps," a Benjamite NASB Translation Ishpah (1).
