Strong's Lexicon Yerubbesheth: Yerubbesheth Original Word: יְרֻבֶּשֶׁת Word Origin: Derived from יָרַב (yarab, meaning "to contend") and בֹּשֶׁת (bosheth, meaning "shame") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yerubbesheth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of contending with false gods is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to stand firm against idolatry (e.g., 1 Corinthians 10:14). Usage: Yerubbesheth is a name used in the Hebrew Bible as an alternative for Jerubbaal, which means "Let Baal contend." The name Yerubbesheth replaces "Baal" with "bosheth," meaning "shame," reflecting a cultural aversion to the name of the Canaanite deity Baal. This change underscores the Israelites' rejection of idolatry and their commitment to the worship of Yahweh. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes altered to reflect theological or cultural shifts. The use of "bosheth" (shame) in place of "Baal" in names like Yerubbesheth indicates a deliberate move to distance the Israelites from Canaanite religious practices and to emphasize the shame associated with idolatry. This practice is seen in other biblical names as well, such as Ishbosheth (originally Eshbaal).
