Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from יְהוּדָה (Yehudah), meaning "Judah."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jehudijah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the Greek equivalent for "Judah" is Ἰούδας (Ioudas), which is Strong's Greek Number 2455.

Usage: This proper noun is used in the context of genealogical records in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Jehudijah is a name mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 4:18, where it is used to refer to a woman associated with the lineage of Judah. The passage reads: "And his wife Jehudijah bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. These were the sons of Bithiah, daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered had married." (BSB)

In this context, Jehudijah is identified as the wife of Mered, a descendant of Judah. The passage highlights her role in the lineage by listing her offspring, who are significant figures in the genealogical history of the tribe. The mention of Bithiah, the daughter of Pharaoh, suggests a connection between the Israelite and Egyptian cultures, indicating a possible integration or alliance through marriage.

The name Jehudijah itself underscores her identity as a woman of Judah, linking her to the prominent tribe from which the Davidic line and, ultimately, the Messiah, according to Christian belief, would emerge. This connection emphasizes the importance of genealogical records in the Hebrew Bible, as they trace the lineage and heritage of key biblical figures.
