Strong's Lexicon Zabdiel: Zabdiel Original Word: זַבְדִּיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָבַד (zabad), meaning "to give" or "endow," combined with אֵל (El), meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Zabdiel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of being "given by God" can be related to Greek names like Theodoros (Θεόδωρος), meaning "gift of God." Usage: The name Zabdiel means "God has given" or "endowment of God." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person who is seen as a gift from God or one who is endowed by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect the character, destiny, or divine purpose of an individual. The name Zabdiel, with its theophoric element "El," indicates a recognition of God's role in the life of the individual. This reflects the broader cultural and religious context of the Israelites, who saw themselves as a people chosen and blessed by God.
