Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root סָפַר (saphar), which means "to count" or "to number."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for the proper noun Mispar, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of counting or numbering, related to the root סָפַר, can be found in Greek words such as ἀριθμός (arithmos, Strong's Greek 706), which means "number."

Usage: The name Mispar appears in the context of the post-exilic period, specifically in the list of those who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel.

Context: Mispar is mentioned in the book of Ezra as one of the leaders or heads of families who returned to Jerusalem and Judah from the Babylonian captivity. In Ezra 2:2, the name appears in the list of those who accompanied Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, and others in the first wave of returnees. The context suggests that Mispar was a person of some standing, likely responsible for leading a group of exiles back to their homeland. The return from exile was a significant event in Jewish history, marking the beginning of the restoration of the Jewish community in Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple. The name Mispar, like many others in the list, represents the continuity of the Jewish people and their faithfulness to their ancestral heritage.
