Strong's Lexicon Paroh Chophra: Pharaoh Hophra Original Word: פַרְעֹה חָפְרַע Word Origin: Derived from the Egyptian title "Pharaoh" (פַּרְעֹה) combined with the name "Hophra" (חָפְרַע), which is of Egyptian origin. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Pharaoh Hophra in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as this is a specific historical figure mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: Pharaoh Hophra refers to an Egyptian king mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. He is identified as a ruler of Egypt during the time of the prophet Jeremiah. The name "Hophra" is associated with the Egyptian Pharaoh Apries, who reigned during the 26th Dynasty. Cultural and Historical Background: Pharaoh Hophra, known historically as Apries, ruled Egypt from approximately 589 to 570 BC. His reign was marked by internal strife and external conflicts, including military campaigns in the Levant. Hophra's involvement in the region is noted in the context of the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem, where he is mentioned as a potential ally to Judah against Babylon. However, his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and his reign ended in turmoil, leading to his overthrow by Amasis II.
