Zibya (or Tsibya), a personal name in the tribe of Benjamin
Zibya is listed among the Benjaminites in Chronicles' genealogies. The name might derive from a root related to gazelles or beauty, but its etymology is uncertain. As with many genealogical names, we know nothing of the individual beyond this mention. The Septuagint's varied spellings reflect the challenges of transliterating Hebrew names, but the name is preserved as part of Benjamin's tribal record.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:9 within Benjamin's genealogy. The lack of multilingual variation (most preserve the Hebrew form) indicates standard treatment of a proper name. Chronicles' genealogies serve to anchor tribal identity and continuity, especially important for communities rebuilding after exile. 1×
