Resheph (personal name: descendant of Ephraim)
This is a personal name appearing in 1 Chronicles 7:25, part of the genealogy of Ephraim. The name Resheph is identical to a common noun meaning 'flame' or 'burning,' and also to a West Semitic deity associated with plague and the underworld. Whether the personal name carries these associations or is simply a theophoric element is uncertain. The genealogical context situates this Resheph within Ephraim's lineage without additional biographical detail.
Senses
1. sense 1 — In 1 Chronicles 7:25, Resheph appears as a descendant in Ephraim's genealogy, listed simply by name without further information. The Septuagint transliterates variously, reflecting the challenge of rendering Hebrew names into Greek. The name itself means 'flame' and was also a deity name in Canaanite religion, though in personal names such meanings often become merely conventional. The Chronicles genealogist includes Resheph to establish Ephraimite lineage, particularly leading toward Joshua (the chapter's climactic figure). 1×
