Topical Lexicon Word Origin: This is a compound proper noun of Egyptian origin, transliterated into Hebrew.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tsophnath-Paneach, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. However, Joseph's story and his role in Egypt are referenced in the New Testament, where Joseph is mentioned in the context of the patriarchs and the history of Israel (e.g., Acts 7:9-14). Usage: The name Tsophnath-Paneach is used exclusively in the context of the biblical account of Joseph, specifically in Genesis 41:45, where Pharaoh bestows this name upon Joseph after interpreting Pharaoh's dreams. Context: Tsophnath-Paneach is the name given to Joseph by Pharaoh in Genesis 41:45, following Joseph's successful interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams, which foretold seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. This name signifies Joseph's new status and role as a high-ranking official in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. The name reflects Joseph's God-given ability to reveal hidden truths and provide wise counsel, which ultimately led to the preservation of Egypt and surrounding nations during the famine. The exact meaning of the name is debated, with interpretations ranging from "Revealer of Secrets" to "God Speaks and He Lives," reflecting the divine insight attributed to Joseph. This event marks a pivotal moment in Joseph's life, transitioning from a Hebrew slave to a powerful leader in Egypt, and sets the stage for the eventual migration of Jacob's family to Egypt.
