Strong's Lexicon Matri: Matri Original Word: מַטְרִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מַטֶּה (matteh), meaning "staff" or "tribe." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Matri" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: The name "Matri" refers to a family or clan within the tribe of Benjamin. It is specifically mentioned in the context of the selection of Saul as the first king of Israel. The term is used to identify the familial lineage from which Saul was chosen. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, tribal and familial affiliations were crucial for identity and inheritance. The tribe of Benjamin was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and each tribe was divided into clans and families. The selection of Saul from the family of Matri highlights the importance of divine choice in leadership, as well as the significance of tribal lineage in the social and political structure of ancient Israel.
