Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Zemirah, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Old Testament genealogies. However, the concept of "song" or "praise" can be related to Greek terms such as ὕμνος (hymnos, Strong's Greek 5215), which means "hymn" or "song of praise."

Usage: The name Zemirah appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the context of family lineage.

Context: • Zemirah is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the tribe of Benjamin. He is identified as one of the sons of Becher, who was a son of Benjamin. This places Zemirah within the context of the early Israelite tribal structure, highlighting the importance of family lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. The name itself, meaning "song" or "praise," may reflect the cultural and religious significance of music and worship in ancient Israel. The genealogical records serve to establish the historical and familial connections among the tribes of Israel, underscoring the continuity of God's covenant with His people through successive generations.
