Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for סְבָאִי (Seba'i) in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to refer to the same people or region when translating the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term סְבָאִי (Seba'i) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the people or descendants of Seba, a region or group of people mentioned in the context of trade and wealth.

Context: • The Sebaites are mentioned in the context of the descendants of Cush, as Seba is listed among the sons of Cush in Genesis 10:7. This indicates that the Sebaites are part of the broader Cushite lineage, which is associated with regions in Africa and Arabia.
• In the prophetic literature, Seba is often mentioned alongside other nations in the context of trade and wealth. For example, in Isaiah 43:3, the LORD declares, "For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place." This suggests that Seba was considered a valuable and significant region.
• The Sebaites, as part of the Cushite lineage, are often associated with wealth and trade, as seen in passages like Psalm 72:10, where the kings of Seba and Sheba are mentioned in the context of bringing gifts.
• The historical and geographical identification of Seba is debated, with some scholars suggesting it refers to a region in Africa, possibly near modern-day Sudan or Ethiopia, while others propose a location in the Arabian Peninsula.
