Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Mishma in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a corresponding Greek translation. However, the concept of "hearing" or "obedience" can be related to Greek words such as ἀκούω (akouo, Strong's Greek 191), meaning "to hear," or ὑπακοή (hypakoe, Strong's Greek 5218), meaning "obedience."

Usage: Mishma is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a person or a group of people.

Context: Mishma is a name found in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. It appears in the context of the descendants of Abraham. Specifically, Mishma is listed as one of the sons of Ishmael, Abraham's son through Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant. This lineage is detailed in Genesis 25:14, where Mishma is mentioned among Ishmael's twelve sons, who became tribal leaders of their respective clans. The name is also found in 1 Chronicles 1:30, which reiterates the genealogical record of Ishmael's descendants. The mention of Mishma in these passages highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that Ishmael would become the father of a great nation. The name Mishma, meaning "hearing," may reflect the cultural or spiritual significance attributed to the act of listening or obedience within the context of Ishmael's lineage.
