Bible Person
Meaning: judge · Male · 1 cross reference
This Shaphat entry refers to the spy for the tribe of Simeon in Numbers 13:5, not to the Gadite chief, David's herdsman, or the Davidic descendant. He belongs to the national testing of Israel at the edge of the promised land. First appears in Num 13:5.1
AI summary: This Shaphat matters because his single cross reference places him among the representatives whose mission becomes bound up with Israel's failure to trust God. The entry contributes to the weight of that decisive wilderness moment by grounding it in named tribal delegates. Taken together, the material presents this Shaphat as one of Israel's spies at Kadesh.1
