Strong's Lexicon Mishael: Mishael Original Word: מִישָׁאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מִי (mi) meaning "who," שָׁ (sha) meaning "that," and אֵל (El) meaning "God." Thus, the name can be interpreted as "Who is like God?" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mishael in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek transliteration of the name in the Septuagint is Μισαήλ (Misael). Usage: Mishael is a Hebrew name meaning "Who is like God?" It is used as a proper name for individuals in the Old Testament. The name reflects a rhetorical question emphasizing the uniqueness and incomparability of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names were often given to reflect the character, destiny, or divine purpose of an individual.
