Strong's Lexicon Pallu'iy: Palluite Original Word: פַלֻּאִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פַּלּוּא (Pallu), which is a proper noun referring to a person. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Pallu'iy" as it is a specific Hebrew term related to a particular lineage within the tribe of Reuben. Greek translations of the Old Testament, such as the Septuagint, would typically transliterate proper names rather than translate them. Usage: The term "Pallu'iy" is used to denote a descendant or member of the family of Pallu, who was one of the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob. The word is used to identify individuals belonging to this lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, tribal and familial affiliations were of significant importance. The tribes of Israel were divided according to the sons of Jacob, and each tribe had its own subdivisions based on the descendants of Jacob's sons. Pallu was one of the sons of Reuben, and his descendants, known as the Palluites, were part of the tribe of Reuben. This tribal identity played a crucial role in the social, religious, and political life of the Israelites.
