Strong's Lexicon Shebanyah or Shebanyahu: Shebanyah or Shebanyahu Original Word: שְׁבַנְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots שֶׁבַע (sheba, meaning "seven" or "oath") and יָה (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shebanyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of divine oaths and covenants is reflected in Greek terms like διαθήκη (diathēkē, meaning "covenant") and ὅρκος (horkos, meaning "oath"). Usage: The name Shebanyah or Shebanyahu means "Yahweh has sworn" or "Yahweh is an oath." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, indicating a covenantal relationship with God and a reminder of His promises. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of the individual's character, family heritage, or divine purpose. The inclusion of "Yah" in Shebanyah signifies a direct connection to Yahweh, the God of Israel, emphasizing the importance of divine promises and oaths in the Hebrew culture. Names like Shebanyah would have been a constant reminder of God's faithfulness and the covenantal relationship between God and His people.
