Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Achira, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: Achira is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Achira is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Numbers. He is identified as the son of Enan and the leader of the tribe of Naphtali during the Israelites' wilderness journey. Achira is listed among the leaders who were responsible for assisting Moses and Aaron in the census of the Israelites, as recorded in Numbers 1:15. Additionally, he is mentioned in the context of the tribal encampments and the order of march in the wilderness (Numbers 2:29). Achira's role as a leader of Naphtali highlights the organizational structure and tribal leadership during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. His name, meaning "brother of evil," may reflect a cultural or familial significance, though the biblical text does not provide further details on his character or actions beyond his leadership role.
