Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the term "Asherite" in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew tribal designation. However, references to the tribe of Asher in the New Testament, such as in the genealogies or in the context of the twelve tribes, would be related to the Greek term for Asher, which is Ἀσήρ (Asēr), Strong's Greek Number 761.

Usage: The term "Asherite" is used to denote individuals belonging to the tribe of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This tribe is traditionally associated with the region in the northern part of the land of Israel.

Context: The tribe of Asher is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Asher, the son of Jacob and Zilpah. The Asherites were allotted a portion of land in the northern part of Canaan, which included fertile regions along the Mediterranean coast. The tribe is noted for its abundance and prosperity, as reflected in the blessing of Moses: "Most blessed of sons is Asher; let him be favored by his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil" (Deuteronomy 33:24, BSB). The Asherites played a role in various biblical narratives, including the period of the Judges and the united monarchy under David and Solomon. Despite their geographical location, which often exposed them to foreign influences, the Asherites maintained their identity as part of the people of Israel.
