Pronunciation: peh-dah-YAH-hoo or peh-dah-YAH

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Pedayahu or Pedayah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of redemption is captured in Greek by the word λυτρόω (lutroo), Strong's Greek #3084, meaning "to redeem" or "to ransom."

Usage: The name Pedayahu or Pedayah means "Yahweh has ransomed" or "Yahweh redeems." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of God's redemptive power and grace.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect theological beliefs or divine attributes. The name Pedayahu or Pedayah would have been a testament to the faith of the parents in God's ability to deliver and redeem His people. This reflects the broader Israelite understanding of God as a redeemer, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament.
