Core Meaning & Semantic Range

The Hebrew word Chăshubâh, represented by H2807, is derived from a root meaning estimation. The term appears only 1 time in 1 unique verse in the Bible, where it is used as the proper name Hashubah, an Israelite.

Biblical Occurrences & Contextual Analysis

The single appearance of H2807 is in a list of names in the book of 1 Chronicles. The verse identifies Hashubah alongside four other individuals: Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-hesed 1 Chronicles 3:20. The context is purely genealogical, placing Hashubah within a specific record without further narrative detail or explanation.

Related Words & Concepts

Several other names are mentioned in the immediate context of Hashubah, establishing the group they belonged to:

  • H169 ʼÔhel: defined as Ohel, an Israelite. This individual is named directly after Hashubah in the list found in 1 Chronicles 3:20.
  • H1296 Berekyâh: meaning "knee (i.e. blessing) of Jah," this name, rendered Berechiah, belongs to one of the five individuals listed with Hashubah 1 Chronicles 3:20.
  • H2619 Chăçadyâh: meaning "Jah has favored," this name, rendered Hasadiah, appears in the same verse as Hashubah 1 Chronicles 3:20.

Theological Significance

The significance of H2807 is primarily historical and genealogical rather than theological.

  • Preservation of Lineage: The inclusion of the name Hashubah serves to preserve a record of an Israelite individual, ensuring their place in the biblical account 1 Chronicles 3:20.
  • Meaning in a Name: Derived from the Hebrew for "estimation," the name Chăshubâh carries a specific meaning, though the biblical text does not expand on its significance for the individual.
  • Limited Context: Due to its single appearance in a list, the name does not carry any broader theological weight or contribute to a larger narrative theme within the provided scriptures.

Summary

In summary, H2807 Chăshubâh is a term used once in scripture as the proper name Hashubah. Its meaning, "estimation," is not explored in the text, and its function is exclusively to identify an individual within a genealogical list in 1 Chronicles 3:20. Unlike words with broad theological application, Hashubah demonstrates the Bible's function as a historical record that preserves the names of specific individuals.
