1. Hepher (personal name) — Proper masculine name חֵפֶר (Hepher/Chepher), borne by several individuals in the Hebrew Bible: a son of Gilead (Num 26:32; Josh 17:2), one of David's mighty men (1 Chr 11:36), and a son of Ashur (1 Chr 4:6). The two clusters differ only in the presence of the conjunction w- ('and-Hepher') versus the bare name. Multilingual renderings are consistent: eng 'Hepher/Chepher', spa 'Héfer/Jefer', hin हेपेर, arb حَيفَر/حَفَر, kor 헤페르/헤변, swa 'Heferi' — all transliterations of the same personal name. 7×
