Yizrachite — gentillic designation, possibly textual variant of 'Zerahite' (1 Chr 27:8)
This ethnic or clan designation appears with the article 'the' modifying Shamhuth, one of David's military commanders. Scholars suggest this may be a textual variant of 'Zerahite,' connecting to the clan of Zerah. Such gentillic terms identified individuals by their clan or regional origin, essential for maintaining social structure in ancient Israel.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A gentillic term identifying Shamhuth's clan or regional affiliation in 1 Chronicles 27:8. The suggestion that this should read 'Zerahite' (as in vv. 11, 13) points to potential scribal variation. Cross-linguistic treatments (Spanish 'el-izrahíta') preserve the article and transliterate, maintaining the text as received while acknowledging interpretive challenges. 1×
