Strong's Lexicon Yehotsadaq: Jehozadak Original Word: יְהוֹצָדָק Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: יְהוָה (YHWH, meaning "the LORD") and צָדַק (tsadaq, meaning "to be just" or "righteous"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yehotsadaq in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek Septuagint may transliterate the name as Ιεζεδεκ (Iezedek). Usage: Yehotsadaq means "The LORD is righteous." It is a proper name used in the Old Testament to refer to a specific individual, Jehozadak, who was a high priest during the time of the Babylonian exile. Cultural and Historical Background: Jehozadak was the son of Seraiah, the last high priest before the Babylonian exile. He was taken into captivity to Babylon when Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC. Jehozadak's lineage is significant as it connects to the priestly line that would return to Jerusalem under the leadership of his son, Jeshua (Joshua), during the time of Zerubbabel. This period was crucial for the restoration of the Jewish community and the rebuilding of the temple.
