Strong's Lexicon Eshban: Eshban Original Word: אֶשְּׁבָּן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be intelligent or prudent. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Eshban, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, genealogical records in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) may use transliterations or adaptations of Hebrew names. Usage: Eshban is a personal name found in the genealogical records of the Bible. It is associated with one of the descendants of Seir the Horite, indicating a person of some standing or importance within the tribal context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the character or destiny of the individual. The name Eshban, suggesting intelligence or prudence, may reflect the qualities valued by the Horites, a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The Horites were known for their integration into the Edomite culture, and their genealogies are preserved in the biblical text to show the interconnectedness of the peoples in the region.
