Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָזַק (chazaq), meaning "to be strong" or "to strengthen," and אֵל (El), meaning "God."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1473 (Ἐζεκιήλ, Ezekiel): The Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Yechezqel, used in the Septuagint and the New Testament.

Usage: The name Yechezqel means "God strengthens" or "God will strengthen." It is used as a proper noun to refer to the prophet Ezekiel, a major figure in the Hebrew Bible. Ezekiel is known for his prophetic ministry during the Babylonian exile, where he conveyed messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites.

Cultural and Historical Background: Ezekiel was a priest and prophet who lived during the 6th century BCE. He was among the Jewish exiles taken to Babylon after the fall of Jerusalem in 597 BCE. His prophecies are recorded in the Book of Ezekiel, which is part of the Nevi'im (Prophets) section of the Hebrew Bible. Ezekiel's ministry occurred during a time of great turmoil and transition for the Jewish people, as they faced the destruction of their temple and the challenge of maintaining their faith in a foreign land.
