Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Churi, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Old Testament and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The name Churi appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Genesis.

Context: Churi is a name found in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. It is mentioned in Genesis 36:22, where Churi is listed as one of the sons of Lotan, a descendant of Seir the Horite. The Horites were a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The name Churi is associated with the Horite lineage, which is significant in understanding the ancestral history of the Edomites and their interactions with the Israelites.

The mention of Churi in the genealogical records serves to establish the historical and familial connections between different groups in the ancient Near East. The Horites, including Churi, are depicted as inhabitants of the land before the Edomites took possession of it. This genealogical detail provides insight into the complex relationships and migrations of peoples in the biblical narrative.

In the Berean Standard Bible, Genesis 36:22 reads: "The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam. Lotan’s sister was Timna." Although Churi is not directly mentioned in this verse, the genealogical context includes the broader family of Lotan, to which Churi belongs.
