3604. Ozias

Strong's Lexicon

Ozias: Uzziah

Original Word: Ὀζίας
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: Ozias
Pronunciation: o-zee'-as
Phonetic Spelling: (od-zee'-as)
Definition: Uzziah
Meaning: Uzziah, son of Joram and father of Jotham, and king of Judah from about 785 to 746 B.C., an ancestor of Jesus.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name עֻזִּיָּהוּ (Uzziah), meaning "Yahweh is my strength."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5818: עֻזִּיָּהוּ (Uzziah)

Usage: In the New Testament, "Ozias" refers to Uzziah, a king of Judah. He is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew. Uzziah was known for his long and prosperous reign, during which he strengthened the kingdom of Judah and was noted for his military innovations and building projects. However, his reign ended in tragedy when he was struck with leprosy for unlawfully entering the temple to burn incense, an act reserved for priests.

Cultural and Historical Background: Uzziah reigned as king of Judah in the 8th century BC, a period marked by relative peace and prosperity for the kingdom. His reign is documented in 2 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 26. Uzziah's time as king was significant for its economic growth and military strength, but it also serves as a cautionary tale about pride and disobedience to God's laws. His leprosy led to his isolation until his death, highlighting the importance of humility and obedience.

STRONGS NT 3604: Ὀζίας

Ὀζίας (L T Tr WH Ὀζείας (cf. Tdf. Proleg., p. 84; WHs Appendix, p. 155, and see εἰ, ἰ)), Οζιου (but cf. Buttmann, 18 (16)), ὁ, (עֻזִּיָה and עֻזִּיָהוּ, strength of Jehovah, or my strength is Jehovah), Ozias or Uzziah, son of Amaziah, king of Judah (circa) (2 Kings 15:30ff): Matthew 1:8f, where the Evangelist ought to have preserved this order: Ιωραμ, Οχοζιας, Ιωας, Ἀμαζιας, Ὀζίας. He seems therefore to have confounded Οχοζιας and Ὀζίας; see another example of (apparent) confusion under Ιεχονιας. (But Matthew has simply omitted three links; such omissions were not uncommon, cf. e. g. 1 Chronicles 6:3ff and Ezra 7:1ff See the commentators.)
