Strong's Lexicon Ukal: Ukal Original Word: אֻכָל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אכל (akal), meaning "to eat" or "to consume." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Ukal" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew name found in the Old Testament. Usage: The name "Ukal" appears in the context of a personal name. It is mentioned in the book of Proverbs as part of a superscription attributed to Agur, son of Jakeh. The name itself is not widely used elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible, and its specific meaning in this context is not entirely clear. It may imply a person who is "consumed" with wisdom or understanding, aligning with the themes of the Proverbs. Cultural and Historical Background: The book of Proverbs is a collection of wisdom literature that was compiled over several centuries, reflecting the teachings and insights of various sages in ancient Israel. The mention of Agur and Ukal in Proverbs 30:1 suggests a setting where wisdom was highly valued and often attributed to specific individuals or schools of thought. The cultural context emphasizes the pursuit of knowledge and understanding as a divine gift and a path to righteous living.
