Zoheth, a descendant of Judah (1 Chronicles 4:20); etymology and meaning unknown
Zoheth appears in the genealogies of Judah, mentioned only in 1 Chronicles 4:20 (also referenced as 'son of Zoheth'). The etymology is uncertain—lexicons offer no clear derivation. Ancient Greek manuscripts vary in their transliterations, suggesting the name was unfamiliar even to early translators. The single occurrence in a genealogical list leaves us with a name anchored to the tribe of Judah but otherwise undefined.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Translations universally transliterate: Spanish 'Zojet,' English 'Zocheth,' with French and German bracketing. First Chronicles preserves extensive genealogical material for Judah, and Zoheth is one among many names whose historical persons are lost to us. His inclusion establishes tribal connection and ancestral legitimacy but provides no narrative development. The name survives as a bare record, testimony to a life we know nothing about beyond its place in Judah's lineage. 1×
