Strong's Lexicon mispachah: Family, clan, tribe, kindred Original Word: מִסְפָחָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁפַח (shaphach), meaning "to join" or "to attach." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3965: πατριά (patria) – meaning "family" or "lineage." - Strong's Greek 5443: φυλή (phyle) – meaning "tribe" or "nation." Usage: The Hebrew word "mispachah" primarily refers to a family or clan, often extending beyond the immediate nuclear family to include a larger kinship group. It can also denote a tribe or a broader community of related families. In the Old Testament, "mispachah" is used to describe the social and familial structures that were foundational to Israelite society. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "mispachah" was central to social organization. Families and clans were the building blocks of the tribal system, which was crucial for maintaining social order, inheritance rights, and religious practices. The clan provided identity, support, and protection to its members. The patriarchal nature of these groups meant that lineage and heritage were traced through the male line, and family ties were integral to one's role and status within the community.
