Strong's Lexicon Yachtseeli: Jahzeelite Original Word: יַחְצְאֵלִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָצַל (chatsal), meaning "to divide" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Yachtseeli" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to Israelite genealogy. Usage: The term "Yachtseeli" refers to a descendant or member of the family of Jahzeel, who was one of the sons of Naphtali, a patriarch of one of the tribes of Israel. The name Jahzeel itself means "God apportions" or "God divides." Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, tribal affiliations were significant for identity, inheritance, and social structure. The Jahzeelites, as descendants of Jahzeel, would have been part of the tribe of Naphtali. This tribe was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, each of which descended from one of the sons of Jacob. The tribe of Naphtali settled in the northern part of the Promised Land, an area known for its fertile land and strategic location.
