The first is one of the Hebrew midwives who defied Pharaoh's orders to kill Hebrew male infants (Exodus 1:15). The second is a member of the tribe of Issachar, listed as a son of Issachar and a patriarch of a family within the tribe (1 Chronicles 7:1).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the Hebrew midwives, Puah is significant for her role in preserving the lives of Hebrew children during a time of oppression in Egypt. This act of defiance against Pharaoh's decree is seen as an early example of civil disobedience motivated by faith and reverence for God. In the genealogical context, Puah (or Puvvah) as a descendant of Issachar highlights the importance of tribal lineage and family heritage in ancient Israelite society.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6311.htm">poh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a man of Issachar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Puah (2), Puvah (1), Puvvah (1).<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> <font class="hebrew2">מּוּאָה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מֻּוָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Issachar</b></font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Φουα</font>, etc.;
