Strong's Lexicon Bizyothyah: Bizyothyah Original Word: בִּזְיוֹתְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בּוּז (buz), meaning "contempt" or "despise," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Bizyothyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun. However, Greek words related to contempt or despising, such as ἀτιμία (atimia, Strong's G819), may conceptually align with the root meaning of the name. Usage: The name Bizyothyah can be understood to mean "contempt of Yahweh" or "despised by Yahweh." It is a proper noun used to identify a specific individual in the genealogies of the Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name indicates a connection to the divine name of God, Yahweh. The use of a name meaning "contempt" or "despised" could suggest a narrative or prophetic element, possibly indicating a period of judgment or disfavor.
