Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shilchim, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "sending" or "dispatching" can be related to Greek words like ἀποστέλλω (apostellō - Strong's Greek 649), meaning "to send forth."

Usage: Shilchim is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is identified as a location within the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. The name itself may imply a sense of sending forth or dispatching, possibly indicating a place of departure or a boundary.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, place names often held significant meanings related to the geography, history, or events associated with the location. The allocation of land to the tribes of Israel, as described in the Book of Joshua, was a crucial aspect of establishing the nation in the Promised Land. Each tribe's inheritance was seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.
