Berean Strong's Lexicon Zerubbabel: Zerubbabel Original Word: זְרֻבָּבֶל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words זֶרַע (zera, meaning "seed") and בָּבֶל (Babel, meaning "Babylon"), thus "seed of Babylon" or "born in Babylon." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2216 (Ζοροβαβέλ): The Greek transliteration of Zerubbabel, used in the New Testament genealogies of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:12, Luke 3:27). Usage: Zerubbabel is a significant figure in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. His name suggests a connection to Babylon, likely indicating his birth or upbringing there during the Babylonian exile. He is recognized as a leader of the Jewish people who returned from Babylon to Jerusalem and played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Second Temple. Cultural and Historical Background: Zerubbabel was a descendant of King David and the grandson of Jehoiachin, the penultimate king of Judah before the Babylonian exile. As a governor of the Persian province of Judah, he was appointed by King Cyrus of Persia to lead the first group of Jewish exiles back to Jerusalem around 538 BC. His leadership was instrumental in the restoration of Jewish worship and the reconstruction of the Temple, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC.
