Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to leap or depart.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tsophar, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Usage: Tsophar is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. He is one of the three friends of Job who visit him during his time of suffering. Context: Tsophar the Naamathite is one of the three friends of Job mentioned in the Book of Job. He is introduced in Job 2:11, where he, along with Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite, comes to console Job after hearing of his misfortunes. Tsophar is characterized by his direct and sometimes harsh speech. He speaks twice in the dialogues with Job, found in Job 11 and Job 20. In his first speech (Job 11), Tsophar rebukes Job for his complaints and urges him to repent, suggesting that Job's suffering is a result of his sin. He emphasizes the inscrutability of God's wisdom and justice. In his second speech (Job 20), Tsophar describes the fate of the wicked, implying that Job's suffering is a consequence of his wrongdoing. Tsophar's perspective reflects a traditional view of retributive justice, where suffering is seen as a direct result of sin. However, the narrative of Job ultimately challenges this simplistic understanding of divine justice.
