Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
II. צוּף noun masculine Ephraim ancestor of Elkanah and Samuel, ׳ בֶּןצֿ 1Sam 1:1 (ἐν Νασειβ, ᵐ5 L υιὁῦ Σωφ), 1Chr 6:20 Qr ᵐ5 ᵑ9 ( Kt ציף); apparently = צוֺפַי v.1Chr 6:11 (Levite), Σουφ(ει): hence probably אֶרֶץ צוּף 1Sam 9:5 (in Benjamin, τὴν(γὴν)Σ(ε)ιφ(α)).
צוּפִי adjective [of a people] Suphite; — so read probably for צוֺפִים 1Sam 1:1 (We Klo Dr and most modern, after ᵐ5 Σ(ε)ιφα, A Σωφιμ).
