Zerahite — a member of the clan descended from Zerah, son of Judah (or Simeon).
A gentilic adjective always used with the definite article, designating a member of the clan of Zerah. In most occurrences it refers to descendants of Zerah son of Judah (Num 26:20; Josh 7:17; 1 Chr 27:11, 13), while one instance traces to Zerah son of Simeon (Num 26:13). The famous episode of Achan's sin identifies him through this clan marker (Josh 7:17), and David's military commanders include Zerahites in the monthly rotation.
Senses
1. Zerahite (gentilic) — A gentilic designation for descendants of Zerah — primarily the Judahite clan (Num 26:20, Josh 7:17, 1 Chr 27:11, 13), and also the Simeonite branch (Num 26:13). English renders it 'Zerahite,' Spanish 'zerahita/zerajitas,' and French 'Zerahite/Zarchite.' Always appears with the article (hazzarchi) as a collective noun. The Achan narrative (Josh 7:17) narrows down from tribe to clan to household using this designation, and Davidic military rosters list Zerahite officers. 6×
