Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָרַח (zarach), meaning "to rise" or "to shine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2196 (Ζαρά, Zara): This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew Zerach, specifically referring to the son of Judah and Tamar, mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the New Testament (Matthew 1:3). The Greek form maintains the connection to the Hebrew lineage and heritage. Usage: Zerach is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals. Context: Zerach is a name attributed to multiple figures in the Old Testament: • Zerach, the son of Reuel: He is a descendant of Esau, mentioned in the genealogies of Edom. Zerach is listed as one of the chiefs of Edom, indicating a position of leadership or prominence within the Edomite clans (Genesis 36:13, 17). • Zerach, the son of Judah: He is one of the twin sons born to Judah and Tamar. His birth is notable for the unusual circumstances where his brother Perez was born first, despite Zerach's hand emerging first, marked by a scarlet thread (Genesis 38:30). Zerach's descendants are referred to as the Zerahites, a clan within the tribe of Judah (Numbers 26:20). • Zerach, the Cushite king: He is mentioned in the context of a military campaign against King Asa of Judah. Zerach the Cushite led a vast army against Judah but was defeated by Asa's forces with divine assistance (2 Chronicles 14:9-15). • Zerach, the son of Simeon: He is listed among the sons of Simeon, contributing to the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel (1 Chronicles 4:24). The name Zerach, with its connotation of rising or shining, may symbolize prominence or distinction, as seen in the roles and stories associated with these individuals.
