Zephi, Zepho

Zephi, Zepho

zef, zefo (, ceph, perhaps gaze, or gazing, in 1Ch 1:36; , cepho, the same meaning in Gen 36:11, Gen 36:15): A duke of Edom. Septuagint has , Sophar, which Skinner (Gen, 431) says may be the original of Job’s kind friend. In Gen 36:43 the Septuagint has , Zaphoe (=, cepho, i.e. Zepho), for Iram. Skinner holds it probable that the two names, Zepho and Iram, were in the original text, thus making the number 12 (compare Lagarde, Septuagint-Stud., II, 10, 1. 178; 37, 1. 270; Nestle, Margin., 12). Lucian has , Sophar, in Gen 36:11, Gen 36:15; , Sepphoue, in 1Ch 1:37, and , Saphon, in Gen 36:43.
