However, the concept of a "jaw" or "cheek" can be found in Greek with words like σιαγών (siagon), Strong's Greek #4600.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Lechi refers to a location in the biblical narrative, specifically associated with the account of Samson. It is most famously known as the site where Samson defeated a thousand Philistines using the jawbone of a donkey. The name itself, meaning "jaw," is directly linked to this event.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Lechi is situated in the territory of Judah, a region frequently contested between the Israelites and the Philistines during the period of the Judges. The account of Samson, a judge of Israel, reflects the ongoing struggle for dominance in the region. The use of the jawbone as a weapon highlights the improvisational and miraculous nature of Samson's victories, emphasizing divine intervention in Israel's deliverance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/3895.htm">lechi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place probably in Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Lehi (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">לְחִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>scene of an exploit of Samson</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ל</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/15-19.htm">Judges 15:19</a> (twice in verse) (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σιαγων</font>), <font class="hebrew2">לֶ֔חִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/15-14.htm">Judges 15:14</a>; with article <font class="hebrew2">בַּלֶּחי</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/15-9.htm">Judges 15:9</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Λευει</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Λεχει</font>), compare <font class="hebrew2">רָ֫מַת לֶ֑חִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/15-17.htm">Judges 15:17</a> = <em>height of Lehi</em> (explanation as from <font class="hebrew2">לְחִי</font> <em>jawbone</em>, compare GFM, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἀναίρεσις σιαγόνος</font> also <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/23-11.htm">2 Samuel 23:11</a>, where read <font class="hebrew2">לֶחְיָה</font> <em>to Lehi</em>, for <font class="hebrew2">לַחַיָּה</font>, see II. <font class="hebrew2">חַיָּה</font>, p. 2Sam 31:2above; (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">θηρία</font>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">σιαγόνα</font>).
