Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for נַעֲמָתִי (Naamathite) as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to a geographical and personal designation within the Old Testament context.

Usage: The term "Naamathite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a person from Naamah. It specifically refers to Zophar, one of Job's three friends.

Context: The term נַעֲמָתִי (Naamathite) appears in the context of the Book of Job, where it is used to identify Zophar, one of Job's three friends who come to comfort him during his time of suffering. Zophar the Naamathite is mentioned in several passages, including Job 2:11, Job 11:1, Job 20:1, and Job 42:9. The designation "Naamathite" indicates his origin from the region or town of Naamah, though the exact location of Naamah is not definitively known. Zophar is characterized by his direct and sometimes harsh speech, as he attempts to explain Job's suffering through the lens of retributive justice, suggesting that Job's afflictions are a result of his sins. Despite his intentions to console, Zophar's arguments contribute to the theological debates within the narrative of Job, highlighting themes of suffering, divine justice, and human understanding.
