Root / Etymology

Root uncertain. The form זוֹחֵת does not correspond with known Hebrew roots or noun patterns, and no clear derivation has been established. It is possibly of non-Hebrew or dialectical origin, or an archaic/hapax form.

Historical & Contextual Notes

The name זוֹחֵת (Zoheth) appears only in the genealogies in 1 Chronicles 4:20, listed among the descendants of Judah. There is no narrative attached to this individual, and the name is not connected to any known place, group, or later tradition. English Bible versions typically render the name as 'Zoheth,' reflecting the transliteration of the Hebrew rather than attaching interpretive meaning. The meaning of the name remains unknown, and it is attested only as a personal name. Unlike other Israelite names in the Hebrew Bible which often include a theophoric element or clear connection to Hebrew roots (for example, names with '-el' or '-yah'), Zoheth lacks these features, further obscuring its etymology and original semantic nuance.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

of uncertain origin; Zocheth, an Israelite; Zoheth.
