Strong's Lexicon Pagiel: Pagiel Original Word: פַגְעִיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּגַע (paga, meaning "to meet" or "to encounter") and אֵל (El, meaning "God"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Pagiel, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of divine encounter or meeting can be related to Greek terms like ἐπιφάνεια (epiphaneia, meaning "appearance" or "manifestation"), which is used in the New Testament to describe divine appearances. Usage: Pagiel means "God has met" or "God's encounter." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a leader of the tribe of Asher during the wilderness period. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Israelite community during the wilderness wanderings, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of divine encounters or attributes. Pagiel, as a leader of the tribe of Asher, would have been responsible for representing his tribe in matters of leadership and decision-making. The name itself suggests a recognition of divine intervention or presence, which was a common theme in the naming conventions of the time.
