פֹּה58 H6312
Puah, Puvah; personal name borne by a judge's father and a tribal ancestor of Issachar
A personal name appearing in genealogical and judicial contexts. Genesis 46:13 and 1 Chronicles 7:1 list Puah (or Puvah, with variant spelling) among the sons of Issachar—one of Jacob's grandsons founding a tribal family. Numbers 26:23 refers to the Punite clan descended from this Puah. Judges 10:1 identifies Tola the judge as 'son of Puah,' though this may be a different individual or refer to clan descent. The LXX transliterations vary (Phoua, Phouah, Puvah), reflecting Hebrew spelling variants. The name possibly relates to a root for plants or brightness, but its etymology remains uncertain.
