Berean Strong's Lexicon Talmay: Talmay Original Word: תַּלְמַי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root תֶּלֶם (telem), meaning "furrow" or "ridge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Talmay in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Θαλμαί (Thalmai). Usage: Talmay is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "furrowed" or "plowman." It is used to refer to specific individuals, notably a descendant of Anak and a king of Geshur. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or role. The name Talmay, meaning "furrowed," could imply strength or a connection to agriculture, which was a central aspect of life in ancient Israel. The Anakim, to whom one Talmay belonged, were a race of giants mentioned in the Bible, known for their formidable size and strength. The Geshurites, associated with another Talmay, were a neighboring people to Israel, often interacting through marriage and conflict.
