Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yerachmeel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God's mercy is reflected in Greek terms such as ἔλεος (eleos, Strong's G1656), meaning "mercy" or "compassion."

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or indicative of the character or destiny of the individual. The name Yerachmeel reflects a deep reliance on God's mercy, a central theme in the Hebrew faith. The name is associated with the tribe of Judah, one of the prominent tribes of Israel, which held a significant role in the history and lineage of the Jewish people.
