Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּכַר (Bakar), meaning "young camel" or "firstborn."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the term "Bakrite" as it is a specific Hebrew tribal designation. However, genealogical and tribal terms in the Greek New Testament often relate to the broader context of Israel's tribes, such as the term "Israelite" (Strong's Greek 2475: Ἰσραηλίτης, Israēlitēs), which encompasses all descendants of Jacob, including the tribe of Benjamin.

Usage: The term "Bakrite" is used to denote a member of the family or clan of Beker, who was a son of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This term is specifically used to identify the lineage or tribal affiliation of certain individuals within the biblical narrative.

Context: • The Bakrites are mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. Beker, from whom the Bakrites descend, is listed among the sons of Benjamin in the genealogies of Israel. The Bakrites, therefore, represent one of the familial divisions within the tribe of Benjamin, which was one of the smaller tribes of Israel but played a significant role in the history of the nation.
• The tribe of Benjamin, including the Bakrites, was known for its warriors and played a crucial role in various biblical events, including the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. The Bakrites, as part of this tribe, would have shared in the tribal inheritance and responsibilities.
• The genealogical records, such as those found in 1 Chronicles, serve to establish the identity and heritage of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the importance of lineage and family connections in the biblical narrative.
