Berean Strong's Lexicon Yigal: Yigal Original Word: יִגְאָל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּאַל (ga'al), meaning "to redeem" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yigal in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of redemption is captured in Greek by the word λυτρόω (lytroō), Strong's Greek #3084, meaning "to redeem" or "to ransom." Usage: The name Yigal means "He will redeem" or "God redeems." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person who is associated with redemption or deliverance, often reflecting the hope or faith in God's saving power. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect the character, destiny, or divine purpose associated with an individual. The name Yigal, with its root meaning "to redeem," would have been a powerful reminder of God's role as the Redeemer of Israel. Redemption was a central theme in Israel's history, particularly in the context of the Exodus from Egypt and the hope for deliverance from future oppressors.
