Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to "surround" or "enclose."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Sabta, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. Usage: The name Sabta appears in the genealogical records of the descendants of Cush, a son of Ham, in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to denote one of the sons of Cush, who is listed among the early post-flood nations. Context: Sabta, also spelled Sabtah, is mentioned in the genealogical lists of Genesis 10:7 and 1 Chronicles 1:9. In these passages, Sabta is identified as one of the sons of Cush, who was a son of Ham, the son of Noah. This places Sabta among the early descendants of Noah's family, contributing to the spread of nations after the flood. The genealogies in which Sabta appears are part of the Table of Nations, which outlines the origins of various peoples and tribes in the ancient Near East. The name Sabta is associated with a region or tribe, possibly located in the Arabian Peninsula, though specific historical or geographical details are not provided in the biblical text. The mention of Sabta in these genealogies highlights the biblical theme of the dispersion of peoples and the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1, BSB).
