H8475 noun

SILEX Entry

Root uncertain uncertain, likely personal designation

Definition

Tachrêaʻ is a personal name referring to a male member of an Israelite lineage, attested only as an individual in genealogical records. The name itself lacks transparent meaning in biblical Hebrew and is used exclusively as a proper name rather than a common noun or appellative.

Semantic Range

proper name, personal name, Israelite man

Root / Etymology

The root is uncertain. Though the name resembles the form תַּאֲרֵעַ (Ta'areʻa), it is unclear whether it is derived transparently from any known Hebrew root or is a variant form adapted for genealogical purposes. No clear etymological connection to a documented Hebrew verb or noun has been established.

Historical & Contextual Notes

Tachrêaʻ appears only in 1 Chronicles 8:35 and 9:41, listed as a descendant of Micah in genealogical accounts related to the tribe of Benjamin during the post-exilic period. The name’s occurrence in genealogies reflects the preservation of tribal and familial identities in late biblical texts. There is no evidence that the name connoted a particular character trait or occupation; it should not be read as carrying the lexical meaning of a common noun. The English spelling 'Tahrea' is a transliteration tradition; later translations sometimes render it as 'Tahrea' or 'Tahreaʻ.' Due to its hapax legomenon status (occurring only once or twice in the Hebrew Bible), its significance is as a marker of lineage, not lexical meaning. It is not indicative of later ethnic or religious identities such as 'Jew' or 'Judean.'

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

for תַּאֲרֵעַ; Tachrea, an Israelite; Tahrea.
