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

Usage: Palti is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name.

Context: • Palti is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. He is identified as the son of Raphu, from the tribe of Benjamin. Palti was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan, as recorded in the Book of Numbers. His mission, along with the other spies, was to assess the land and its inhabitants to prepare for the Israelites' eventual conquest.
• In Numbers 13:9, Palti is listed among the twelve spies: "from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu." The narrative of the spies' exploration and subsequent report is a significant event in the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. While the majority of the spies brought back a discouraging report, leading to the Israelites' rebellion and prolonged wandering in the wilderness, Palti's specific actions or words are not detailed beyond his inclusion in the list.
• The name Palti reflects a theme of deliverance, which is consistent with the broader biblical narrative of God's deliverance of Israel. However, Palti's role in the story of the spies is overshadowed by the more prominent figures of Joshua and Caleb, who brought back a positive report and demonstrated faith in God's promise.
