Strong's Lexicon Chakalyah: Hakaliah Original Word: חֲכַלְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָכַל (chakal), meaning "to wait" or "to hope," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Hakaliah in the Septuagint or the New Testament, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. Usage: Chakalyah, or Hakaliah, is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible as a personal name. It means "Yahweh waits" or "Yahweh is patient." The name reflects a theological understanding of God's character as one who is patient and hopeful. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth of the child. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name indicates a theophoric element, signifying a connection to the God of Israel. Names like Chakalyah would have been a reminder of God's attributes and presence in the lives of the Israelites.
