Brown-Driver-Briggs אֶזְרָחִי adjective, of a people i.e. of family of זֶרַח, only in ׳אֵיתָן הָא 1 Kings 5:11 (ᵐ5L Ἰσραηλίτης), Psalm 89:1 (ᵐ5 id.), and Psalm 88:1 ׳הֵימָן הָא both sons of זֶרַח (1 Chronicles 2:6). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root אֶזְרָח (ezrach), meaning "native" or "citizen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Ezrachite," as it is a specific Hebrew designation without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. However, the concept of native or citizen can be related to Greek terms such as πολίτης (polites, Strong's Greek 4177), meaning "citizen." Usage: The term "Ezrachite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals associated with a specific family or clan, particularly in the context of wisdom literature and genealogical records. Context: The term "Ezrachite" appears in the Hebrew Bible in reference to two individuals known for their wisdom and literary contributions. The first mention is in relation to Ethan the Ezrahite, a wise man whose wisdom was surpassed only by Solomon, as noted in 1 Kings 4:31. Ethan is traditionally associated with the authorship of Psalm 89, which is attributed to him in the superscription: "A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite." The second mention is of Heman the Ezrahite, another figure renowned for his wisdom. Heman is listed alongside Ethan in 1 Chronicles 2:6 as a descendant of Zerah, the son of Judah, indicating their familial lineage. Heman is also credited with the authorship of Psalm 88, as indicated in its superscription: "A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite." The designation "Ezrahite" thus serves to highlight the esteemed status of these individuals within the wisdom tradition of Israel, emphasizing their contributions to the literary and spiritual heritage of the nation.
