Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Mechir, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of "selling" or "price" can be related to Greek words like ἀγοράζω (agorazo - G59), meaning "to buy" or "to redeem." Usage: Mechir is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. Specifically, Mechir is identified as the firstborn son of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph. The name Mechir is associated with the idea of "selling" or "price," which may reflect a characteristic or event related to his life or lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. Mechir, as a descendant of Joseph, belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Israel. The tribe of Manasseh was known for its significant land holdings on both sides of the Jordan River. Mechir's descendants, known as the Machirites, played a role in the settlement and military activities of the Israelites.
