Strong's Lexicon Abiasaph: Abiasaph Original Word: אֲבִיאָסָף Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָב (av, meaning "father") and אָסַף (asaph, meaning "to gather" or "to collect"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Abiasaph, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of gathering or collecting can be related to Greek words like συναγωγή (synagogue, meaning "gathering" or "assembly"). Usage: The name Abiasaph means "my father has gathered" or "father of gathering." It is used as a proper name for a descendant of Levi, specifically a son of Korah, who is mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites. Cultural and Historical Background: Abiasaph is a figure within the Levitical genealogies, which are significant for understanding the priestly and worship functions in ancient Israel. The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties, and genealogies were crucial for maintaining the purity and order of these roles. Abiasaph, as a descendant of Korah, is part of a lineage that had a complex history, including the rebellion of Korah against Moses (Numbers 16). Despite this, the descendants of Korah, including Abiasaph, were later integrated into the service of the tabernacle and temple, contributing to the worship life of Israel.
