Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2501 (Ἰωσήφ, Ioseph): The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Joseph, used in the New Testament. Usage: Yehoseph, or Joseph, is a Hebrew name meaning "Yahweh has added" or "He will add." It is used primarily as a proper noun referring to significant biblical figures, most notably Joseph, the son of Jacob and Rachel, and Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Old Testament, Joseph is one of the twelve sons of Jacob, making him one of the patriarchs of the tribes of Israel. His account is a remarkable narrative of betrayal, resilience, and divine providence. Sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph rises to become the second most powerful man in Egypt, ultimately saving his family from famine. His life exemplifies faithfulness and God's sovereign plan. In the New Testament, Joseph, the husband of Mary, is a righteous man who plays a crucial role in the early life of Jesus, providing protection and guidance.
