Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָצַם (atsam), which means "to be strong" or "to be mighty."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Otsem, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of strength or might, which is inherent in the root of the name, can be related to Greek terms such as ἰσχύς (ischys, Strong's Greek 2479), meaning "strength" or "might."

Usage: The name Otsem appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically in the lineage of Judah.

Context: Otsem is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 2:25, Otsem is listed as a descendant of Jerahmeel, who was the firstborn of Hezron. The passage reads: "The sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron: Ram his firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah." The name Otsem is sometimes rendered as Ozem in various translations, reflecting slight variations in transliteration. The genealogies in Chronicles serve to establish the tribal and familial lines of Israel, and Otsem's inclusion highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. The name itself, derived from a root meaning "strong" or "mighty," may reflect the characteristics or aspirations associated with the individual or family line.
