Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term שׁלֵּמִי (Shillemi) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, Greek equivalents for tribal or familial designations would typically involve terms related to lineage or descent, though these would not directly translate the specific Hebrew name.

Usage: The term "Shilemite" is used to refer to a member of the family or descendants of Shillem, one of the sons of Naphtali, as listed in the genealogies of the tribes of Israel.

Context: • The name שׁלֵּמִי (Shillemi) appears in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel, specifically within the tribe of Naphtali. Shillem is one of the sons of Naphtali, and his descendants are referred to as Shilemites. This designation is used to identify the familial lineage and tribal affiliation within the broader context of the Israelite community.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in the context of the census and genealogical listings, which were important for maintaining the tribal structure and inheritance rights among the Israelites. The Shilemites, as descendants of Shillem, would have been part of the tribal allotments and responsibilities ascribed to the tribe of Naphtali.
• The genealogical records serve not only as historical documentation but also as a means of preserving the identity and heritage of the Israelite tribes. The Shilemites, like other tribal families, played a role in the collective history and culture of the nation of Israel.
