the Tsemarite; a Canaanite people group descended from Canaan, associated with the city of Tsimirra/Sumur
This gentilic term denotes a Canaanite clan descended from Canaan, listed among his sons in the Table of Nations. Ancient sources identify them with the coastal city variously called Tsimirra (Assyrian), Sumur (Tel Amarna), and Simyra (Greek), located north of Tripoli near Arvad on the Phoenician coast. The Septuagint renders it 'Samaraion,' showing how ancient translators struggled with the name. The dual biblical references preserve this otherwise minor branch of Canaan's lineage.

1. sense 1 — The Hebrew construct 'the Tsemarite' appears only in genealogical contexts (Genesis 10:18, 1 Chronicles 1:16), where it functions as a collective ethnic designation. BDB's extensive philological notes trace the name through Assyrian, Egyptian, and Greek sources, all pointing to a specific Phoenician coastal settlement. The multilingual glosses preserve the definite article and attempt transliteration, with Spanish and English maintaining 'Tsemarite' while French and German show slight orthographic variation, all confirming this is a proper ethnic identifier rather than a common noun. 2×
