Strong's Lexicon Zerachyah: Zerachiah Original Word: זְרַחְיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Zrachyah Pronunciation: zeh-rakh-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (zer-akh-yaw') Definition: Zerachiah Meaning: Zerachjah Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots זָרַח (zarach, meaning "to rise" or "to shine") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Zerachiah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of divine light and illumination can be related to Greek words like φῶς (phos, Strong's G5457), meaning "light." Usage: Zerachiah means "Yahweh has shone" or "Yahweh's light." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yah, indicating a relationship or attribute of God. The name suggests a divine illumination or blessing, reflecting the belief in God's active presence and guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The use of theophoric elements like "Yah" in names was common, signifying devotion to or acknowledgment of God's role in one's life. Zerachiah, as a name, would have been a reminder of God's light and presence, a theme prevalent in Hebrew thought and scripture.
