Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Shuach, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of genealogies and descendants is present in various Greek terms related to lineage and ancestry in the New Testament.

Usage: The name Shuach appears in the context of genealogies in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Book of Genesis.

Context: Shuach is mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Abraham. In Genesis 25:2, Shuach is listed as one of the sons of Abraham by his wife Keturah. The passage states: "She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah." Shuach is thus part of the extended family of Abraham, contributing to the narrative of the patriarch's numerous descendants. The name Shuach is also associated with the Shuhites, a tribe or group that may have descended from him. This connection is seen in the Book of Job, where Bildad the Shuhite is one of Job's friends (Job 2:11). The Shuhites are thought to have been a nomadic or semi-nomadic people, possibly dwelling in the region of Arabia or the Syrian desert. The mention of Shuach and his descendants highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make him a father of many nations.
