Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root עָשָׂה (asah), meaning "to do" or "to make."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Maasai, 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: The name Maasai appears in the context of genealogical records within the Old Testament. It is used to identify a specific individual among the Levitical families.

Context: Maasai is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 9:12 as a descendant of Immer, one of the priestly families. The passage lists Maasai among the priests who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. This genealogical record highlights the continuity of the priestly line and the restoration of religious duties in the post-exilic community. Maasai's inclusion in this list underscores the importance of maintaining the priestly lineage and the reestablishment of worship practices in Jerusalem. The name itself, derived from the root meaning "to do" or "to make," may reflect a characteristic or role associated with the individual or his family.
