Strong's Lexicon
Shephatyah or Shephatyahu: Shephatiah

Original Word: שְׁפַטְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Shephatyah or Shephatyahu
Pronunciation: shef-at-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (shef-at-yaw')
Definition: Shephatiah
Meaning: Shephatjah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁפַט (shaphat, meaning "to judge") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh), thus meaning "Yahweh has judged" or "Yahweh judges."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shephatiah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of divine judgment is reflected in Greek terms like κρίνω (krinō, Strong's G2919), meaning "to judge."

Usage: The name Shephatiah is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, each of whom is associated with the idea of divine judgment or justice. The name underscores the belief in Yahweh as the ultimate judge and arbiter of justice.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of personal or familial faith in God. The name Shephatiah, incorporating the divine name Yah, indicates a recognition of God's sovereignty and justice. This reflects the broader cultural and religious context of ancient Israel, where names were often given to express theological truths or hopes.
