However, Greek genealogical terms and names can be found in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, but they do not directly correspond to this specific Hebrew name.

Usage: The name Meonothai appears in genealogical records within the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the descendants of Judah.

Context: Meonothai is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the tribe of Judah. He is identified as a descendant of Judah through Caleb. In 1 Chronicles 4:14, Meonothai is listed as the son of Othniel and the father of Ophrah. The passage highlights the lineage and familial connections within the tribe of Judah, emphasizing the importance of heritage and ancestry in the biblical narrative. The genealogies serve to establish the historical and tribal context of the people of Israel, with Meonothai being a part of this broader narrative. The name itself, suggesting "my habitations," may reflect the settled nature of the tribe and their connection to the land.
