Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גּוּן (gun), which is not explicitly defined in the biblical text but is understood to be a proper noun.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name גּוּנִי (Guni) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. Proper nouns in Hebrew often do not have direct Greek equivalents unless they are transliterated in the Septuagint or New Testament, which is not the case for Guni.

Usage: Guni is used as a personal name in the Old Testament. It appears in genealogical contexts, identifying individuals within the tribes of Israel.

Context: Guni is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as a descendant of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Specifically, Guni is listed as one of the sons of Naphtali in Genesis 46:24 and 1 Chronicles 7:13. The tribe of Naphtali is one of the northern tribes of Israel, and Guni's descendants are referred to as the Gunites. The genealogical records in the Bible often serve to establish tribal affiliations and inheritance rights, and Guni's inclusion in these records underscores his role in the lineage of Naphtali. The name Guni, meaning "protected" or "defended," may reflect the cultural or familial aspirations of the time, emphasizing divine protection or strength.
