ΓΑΙΦΑΡ, γαιφαρ
GAIPHAR, gaiphar
Sounds Like: GAI-phar
Translations: Gaiphar, Ephah
From the root: ΓΑΙΦΑΡ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This word refers to Ephah, a son of Midian and grandson of Abraham through Keturah, as mentioned in Genesis 25:4 and 1 Chronicles 1:33. It can also refer to the tribe or territory descended from him. In the provided context, it appears alongside 'Midian' (Μαδιαμ), indicating a geographical region or people associated with camels, likely referring to the tribe of Ephah. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this is a numerical value, specifically 3141, but in this context, it is much more likely to be a proper noun, with the keraia possibly indicating a scribal mark or an abbreviation, or simply a misinterpretation of a coronis (which would indicate an elision, but that's less likely for a proper noun).
