However, the concept of a mixed multitude or rabble can be seen in various New Testament contexts where groups of people are gathered, such as the crowds following Jesus.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "asaphsuph" refers to a mixed group of people, often seen as a rabble or crowd that is not part of the main group. In the context of the Israelites, it denotes a group of non-Israelites who joined the Israelites during the Exodus from Egypt. This group is often associated with causing unrest or dissatisfaction among the Israelites.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, large groups of people often included not only the primary ethnic or national group but also others who joined for various reasons, such as seeking freedom, economic opportunity, or safety. The "asaphsuph" in the Exodus narrative represents those who were not originally part of the Israelite tribes but chose to accompany them out of Egypt. This group likely included Egyptians and other foreigners who were impressed by the power of the God of Israel or who saw an opportunity for a new life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/622.htm">asaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a collection, rabble<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rabble (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">אֲסַפְסֻף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>collection, rabble</b></font>, only <font class="hebrew2">הָאסַפְסֻף</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/11-4.htm">Numbers 11:4</a> of the camp-followers attending Hebrews at the Exodus. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>mixed multitude <p>By reduplication from <a href="/hebrew/624.htm">'acuph</a>; gathered up together, i.e. A promiscuous assemblage (of people) -- mixt multitude. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/624.htm">'acuph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְהָֽאסַפְסֻף֙ והאספסף vehasafSuf wə·hā·sap̄·sup̄ wəhāsap̄sup̄<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/numbers/11-4.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Numbers 11:4</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/11.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> וְהָֽאסַפְסֻף֙ </b> אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּקִרְבּ֔וֹ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/numbers/11.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">The rabble</span> who were among<br><a href="/kjvs/numbers/11.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">And the mixt multitude</span> that [was] among<br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/11-4.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">the rabble</span> who were among<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_628.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_628.htm">Strong's Hebrew 628<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vehasafsuf_628.htm">wə·hā·sap̄·sup̄ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/627.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="627"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="627" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/629.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="629"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="629" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
