Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צִפּוֹר (tsippor), meaning "bird."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tsippor, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The name Tsippor appears in the context of a specific individual in the Old Testament. It is used as a proper noun to identify a person. Context: Tsippor is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Numbers. He is identified as the father of Balak, the king of Moab. Balak is a significant character in the narrative concerning the prophet Balaam. In Numbers 22:2, the text states, "Now Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites." This introduction sets the stage for the subsequent events where Balak, fearing the Israelites, seeks the services of Balaam to curse them. The mention of Tsippor serves to establish Balak's lineage and his authority as a Moabite king. The name Tsippor itself, meaning "bird," may carry symbolic significance, though the text does not elaborate on this. The narrative involving Balak and Balaam is a pivotal moment in the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land, highlighting themes of divine protection and the futility of opposing God's will.
