Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • ISBE • Easton's • Concordance • Thesaurus • Hebrew • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Hazarmaveth is a biblical figure mentioned in the Table of Nations, found in the Book of Genesis. He is identified as one of the sons of Joktan, who was a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah. The name Hazarmaveth appears in Genesis 10:26: "Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah," . This genealogical listing places Hazarmaveth within the broader context of the descendants of Shem, who are traditionally considered the Semitic peoples.The name "Hazarmaveth" is often interpreted to mean "village of death" or "court of death," derived from the Hebrew words "ḥaṣar" (village or court) and "maveth" (death). This etymology has led some scholars to speculate about the possible historical or geographical significance of the name, although concrete evidence remains elusive. Hazarmaveth is also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 1:20, which reiterates the genealogy found in Genesis: "Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah," . This repetition underscores the importance of genealogical records in the biblical narrative, serving to establish the lineage and heritage of various peoples and tribes. In terms of historical and geographical context, Hazarmaveth is often associated with the ancient region of Hadramaut, located in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, in present-day Yemen. This association is based on phonetic similarities between the names and the historical presence of a tribe or region known as Hadramaut in ancient records. The region of Hadramaut was known for its incense trade and played a significant role in the commerce of the ancient Near East. The descendants of Hazarmaveth, like those of his brothers, are believed to have contributed to the spread of Semitic cultures and languages throughout the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. The genealogical records in Genesis and Chronicles serve not only as historical accounts but also as theological affirmations of God's providence and the unfolding of His plan through the generations. While Hazarmaveth himself is not a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his inclusion in the genealogies highlights the interconnectedness of the peoples and tribes that emerged from Noah's descendants. These genealogies provide a framework for understanding the diverse ethnic and cultural landscape of the ancient Near East, as well as the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.
