Matthew 1:14

Greek Achim, Ἀχὶμ. #G885. Scholars are uncertain of the origin since the name is not listed in the Old Testament. Obviously, the name is Hebrew since the ancestors of the Messiah in this lineage were not Greek. Strongs suggested Yoqim (#3137) but the word is the same phonetically as the Hebrew אַחִים achim which is plural for "brothers." Cf. Strong’s Hebrew #251.
