Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Misham, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, genealogical names in the Greek Septuagint often have transliterated forms. Usage: Misham is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a descendant of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name Misham is not widely used in the biblical text, appearing only in genealogical records. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal identities, inheritance rights, and fulfilling covenantal promises. The tribe of Benjamin, to which Misham belonged, held significant historical and cultural importance. Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, and his descendants played key roles in Israel's history, including the establishment of the first king, Saul.
