Strong's Lexicon Saph: To attach, join, add, gather Original Word: סַף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of joining or attaching is προστίθημι (prostithemi - Strong's Greek 4369), which means to add or join. Usage: The Hebrew verb סָפַח (saphach) primarily means to attach or join something to another. It can also imply the act of gathering or adding. In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to the joining or attaching of individuals to a group or community, sometimes with a connotation of inclusion or assimilation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of being joined or attached to a group was significant, especially in terms of community and religious identity. The Israelites were a covenant community, and being attached to this community meant sharing in its blessings and responsibilities. The term סָפַח (saphach) reflects the importance of belonging and inclusion within the social and religious fabric of Israel.
