Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Zimran, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Zimran is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible. It specifically refers to one of the sons of Abraham by Keturah.

Context: Zimran is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as one of the six sons born to Abraham and Keturah, as recorded in Genesis 25:2. Keturah was taken as a wife by Abraham after the death of Sarah. The sons of Keturah, including Zimran, are considered to be the progenitors of various tribes and peoples. The specific details about Zimran's life and descendants are not extensively covered in the biblical text, and he is not mentioned outside of genealogical records. The name Zimran appears in the context of the broader narrative of Abraham's lineage and the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) records this lineage in Genesis 25:1-2: "Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah, and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah."
