Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Corresponds to the Hebrew יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2474: Ἰσραήλ (Israēl) • The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew יִשְׂרָאֵל, used in the New Testament to refer to the nation of Israel or the Jewish people. Usage: This Aramaic form of the name "Israel" is used in the context of the Jewish people or the nation of Israel. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. Context: The term יִשְׂרָאֵל (Jisrael) is the Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew name יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el), which is commonly translated as "Israel." The name "Israel" is significant in the biblical narrative, representing both the patriarch Jacob, who was renamed Israel after wrestling with God (Genesis 32:28), and the nation that descended from his twelve sons. In the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, the term יִשְׂרָאֵל is used to refer to the Jewish people or the nation of Israel. This reflects the historical context in which parts of the Old Testament were written, during and after the Babylonian exile, when Aramaic was a common language among the Jewish people. The use of the Aramaic form underscores the continuity of the identity and faith of the Israelites despite their changing linguistic and cultural circumstances.
