Strong's Lexicon Sippay: Sippai Original Word: סִפַי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be a threshold or a boundary Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Sippai, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of giants can be related to Greek terms like "γίγας" (Gigas), which refers to giants. Usage: Sippai is a proper noun used to refer to a Philistine warrior mentioned in the Old Testament. He is noted for being one of the descendants of the giants, specifically a Rephaite, who was defeated by one of David's warriors. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, giants were often seen as formidable opponents and were sometimes associated with divine or semi-divine ancestry. The Philistines, a significant group during the time of the Israelite monarchy, were known for their conflicts with Israel. The mention of giants among the Philistines highlights the perceived strength and threat they posed to Israel. The defeat of such figures by David's men underscores the divine favor and military prowess attributed to David's reign.
