Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Charnepher, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The name Charnepher appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the context of the descendants of Asher.

Context: Charnepher is mentioned in the genealogical listings of the tribe of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Asher was the eighth son of Jacob, born to Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The tribe of Asher was known for its abundance and prosperity, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49:20, "Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king." Charnepher, as a descendant of Asher, is part of this lineage that contributed to the tribe's reputation for wealth and fertility. The name itself, meaning "mountain of beauty," may symbolize the tribe's elevated status and the pleasantness of their inheritance in the Promised Land. The genealogical records serve to establish the historical and familial context of the tribes of Israel, highlighting the continuity of God's promises to the patriarchs through their descendants.
