Zophah, a man from the tribe of Asher listed in the genealogies
Zophah appears in the genealogical records of Asher in 1 Chronicles, mentioned twice in consecutive verses with slight variation in spelling. Like many names preserved only in genealogical lists, we know nothing of this individual beyond his tribal affiliation and family connections. The name may relate to a root meaning 'honeycomb' or 'watchtower,' though such etymologies remain speculative. His inclusion in Chronicles preserves his place in Asher's family tree for posterity.
Senses
1. sense 1 — This personal name occurs in 1 Chronicles 7:35-36, appearing in slightly different forms (Zophah, Zophach) in the same genealogical context. Translations preserve the proper name across languages: English 'Zophah/Tsofach,' Spanish 'Tsofaj,' French and German transliterating the Hebrew. The dual mention may reflect variant manuscript traditions or two references to the same person using slightly different spellings. Such names, preserved only in genealogies, testify to Chronicles' concern to maintain complete tribal records even when no narratives survive about the individuals listed. 2×
