Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name "Regem" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogies.
Usage:The name "Regem" is used in the Bible as a personal name. It is associated with a descendant of Caleb, a notable figure in the tribe of Judah. The name itself may imply a sense of gathering or accumulation, possibly reflecting a characteristic or role within the family or tribe.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of personal attributes, familial roles, or divine purposes. Caleb, from whom Regem descends, was a prominent figure known for his faithfulness and courage, particularly in the narrative of the spies sent to Canaan. The genealogies in which Regem appears serve to establish tribal identities and inheritance rights, which were crucial in maintaining the social and religious structure of Israelite society.
