Strong's Lexicon Zuzim: Zuzim Original Word: זוזים Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: Zuzim Pronunciation: ZOO-zeem Phonetic Spelling: (zoo-zeem') Definition: Zuzim Meaning: Zuzites Word Origin: Derived from an ancient Semitic root, possibly related to the concept of "moving" or "roving." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Zuzim in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as they are specific to the Hebrew text and context of the Old Testament. Usage: The term "Zuzim" refers to a group of people mentioned in the Old Testament. They are described as inhabitants of the land during the time of Abraham. The name may imply a nomadic or wandering lifestyle, consistent with the root meaning of movement or roving. Cultural and Historical Background: The Zuzim are mentioned in the context of the military campaign of Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and his allies. This campaign is part of the broader narrative of the battles between various kings in the region, as recorded in Genesis 14. The Zuzim, along with other groups like the Rephaim and the Emim, were likely part of the indigenous populations of the Transjordan area. Their mention in the Bible provides insight into the complex socio-political landscape of the ancient Near East during the patriarchal period.
