Ephai (personal name; ketiv: Ophai); a Netophathite leader post-fall of Jerusalem
This personal name identifies a Netophathite (from Netophah near Bethlehem) who appears in Jeremiah 40:8 among the military leaders who came to Gedaliah after Jerusalem's fall in 586 BC. The Masoretic text preserves two readings: the ketiv (written text) has 'Ophai' while the qere (read aloud) has 'Ephai.' This reflects scribal tradition and pronunciation variants. Ephai represents the Judean remnant seeking guidance in the chaotic aftermath of Babylonian conquest.

1. sense 1 — A proper name for a Netophathite leader who joined Gedaliah after Jerusalem's fall (Jeremiah 40:8). The name shows ketiv/qere variation (Ophai/Ephai), reflecting scribal pronunciation traditions. Both occurrences in the verse reflect this textual phenomenon. Greek versions (Iōphe, Ōphe, Ōphet) attempt to transliterate the uncertain pronunciation. 2×
