Strong's Lexicon Machseyah: Machseyah Original Word: מַחְסֵיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Machceyah Pronunciation: makh-seh-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (makh-say-yaw') Definition: Machseyah Meaning: Machsejah Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָסָה (chasah), meaning "to seek refuge" or "to trust." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Machseyah, the concept of God as a refuge is echoed in the New Testament. For example, the Greek word καταφύγιον (kataphygion, Strong's G2706) means "refuge" or "shelter," and is used in contexts that convey God's protective nature. Usage: Machseyah is a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "Yahweh is my refuge" or "Yahweh is a shelter." It reflects a theological assertion of trust and reliance on God for protection and safety. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to express theological truths or personal experiences with God. The name Machseyah would have been a declaration of faith, emphasizing the belief in Yahweh as a protector and refuge. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God as a sanctuary for His people, a concept deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel.
