Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Assir, as it is a specific proper noun related to Hebrew genealogies and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The name Assir appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically within the context of the Levitical lineage.

Context: Assir is mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties in ancient Israel. The name appears in the context of the descendants of Korah, a notable Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. Assir is listed as one of the sons of Korah, indicating his place within this significant Levitical family. Despite the rebellion led by Korah, his descendants, including Assir, continued to serve in the temple, contributing to the musical and liturgical traditions of Israel. The mention of Assir in the genealogies underscores the continuity of the Levitical line and the enduring legacy of the Korahites in the religious life of Israel.

In the Berean Standard Bible, Assir is referenced in 1 Chronicles 6:22-23: "The descendants of Kohath: Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir his son, Elkanah his son, Ebiasaph his son, Assir his son."
