Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name תַּנְחֻמֶת (Tanchumeth) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of comfort or consolation can be related to Greek words such as παρακαλέω (parakaleo • Strong's Greek 3870), which means "to call to one's side, to comfort, or to console."

Usage: The name Tanchumeth appears in the context of a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is specifically mentioned in the book of Nehemiah.

Context: Tanchumeth is identified as the father of a man named Jahzeiah. This reference is found in Nehemiah 10:21, where Jahzeiah is listed among those who sealed the covenant. The name Tanchumeth, meaning "consolation," reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of naming individuals with words that convey a sense of hope or comfort. The context in Nehemiah suggests a period of restoration and renewal for the people of Israel, aligning with the thematic significance of the name.
