Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Seorim, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of priestly divisions and genealogical records can be related to various Greek terms used in the New Testament to describe priesthood and lineage, such as ἱερατεία (hierateia • priesthood) and γενεά (genea • generation, lineage).

Usage: The name Seorim appears in the context of genealogical records and priestly divisions within the Old Testament.

Context: Seorim is mentioned in the context of the priestly divisions established by King David. In 1 Chronicles 24:8, Seorim is listed as the head of the fourth division of priests. This division was part of the 24 priestly courses instituted to organize the service of the temple. Each division served in the temple for a week at a time, ensuring that the worship and sacrifices were conducted in an orderly manner. The name Seorim, meaning "barley," may reflect an agricultural connection or symbolize abundance and provision, as barley was a staple grain in ancient Israel. The mention of Seorim in the genealogical records underscores the importance of maintaining a structured and hereditary priesthood, which was central to the religious life of Israel.
