=====shihim=====
שיחים


The shihim are a fascinating group of inhabitants of earth, mentioned in only in the books of Genesis and Job.

the root word is שיח ([[shih]]), meaning "speak" and so the shihim are "the speaking ones".

Strong's [[concordance]] inexplicably separates a four instances of [[shih]] (Strongnumber 7878) into a separate number (7880) and assigns it the meaning of "bush". See [[Strong errors]]

genesis2:5 - before any **shih** of the field was in the earth and any herb of the field before had grown

genesis21:15 - she placed the boy under one **hashihim** (this is one example where the [[ha]] [[affixes|prefix]] might actually mean "of")

job30:4 - Who pluck mallow by the **shih** and roots [for] broom tree their food

job30:7 - Among the **shihim** they brayed Under the nettles they nestled

actually, there is a glaring mistake made here in that, one of the cases of 7880 actually keeps the meaning of "speak"

For in Job 12:8 we have: "**speak** to the earth and it will teach you
