Usage: The term יַחַשׂ is used in the context of documenting genealogies or family records, often to establish lineage or tribal affiliation.

Context: יַחַשׂ (yachas) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts where genealogical records are significant. These records were crucial for maintaining tribal identities, inheritance rights, and fulfilling religious duties. The term is often associated with the meticulous recording of family lines, especially in post-exilic texts where re-establishing Israel's identity was vital. Genealogies served not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's promises to His people through specific lineages.

In the Old Testament, genealogies are found in books such as Genesis, Chronicles, and Ezra-Nehemiah. These records were essential for the Israelites to trace their ancestry back to the patriarchs, ensuring the continuity of God's covenantal promises. The use of יַחַשׂ underscores the importance of heritage and identity in the biblical narrative, reflecting a society deeply rooted in familial and tribal connections.
