˜כֹּזֵבָֹא proper name, of a location 1 Chronicles 4:22 ᵐ5 Σωχηθα, A ᵐ5^L Ξωζηβα, = אַכְזִיב 1 see below

Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּזַב (kazab), meaning "to lie" or "to deceive."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Cozeba, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun with no direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Cozeba is used as a proper noun referring to a place name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Cozeba is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. It appears in 1 Chronicles 4:22, where it is listed among the descendants of Shelah, the son of Judah. The passage reads: "And Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab, and Jashubi-Lehem. These records are ancient." (BSB) The context suggests that Cozeba was a settlement or a region associated with the descendants of Shelah. The name itself, meaning "false" or "deceitful," may imply a historical or cultural significance, possibly indicating a place known for deception or a figurative reference to its inhabitants' characteristics. The exact location of Cozeba is not definitively known, and it is not frequently mentioned elsewhere in biblical texts, leaving its historical and geographical details largely obscure.
