Strong's Lexicon Pelalyah: Pelaliah Original Word: פְלַלְיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Plalyah Pronunciation: pe-lal-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (pel-al-yaw') Definition: Pelaljah Meaning: "Yahweh has judged" or "Yahweh has intervened." Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלַל (palal), meaning "to judge" or "to intercede," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Pelaljah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the themes of judgment and intercession associated with the root פָּלַל (palal) can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament for judgment (e.g., κρίνω, krinō) and intercession (e.g., ἐντυγχάνω, entygchanō). Usage: Pelaljah is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Pelaljah is a biblical figure mentioned in the context of post-exilic Jerusalem. He is identified as one of the Levites who returned from the Babylonian exile and participated in the covenant renewal ceremony led by Nehemiah. This event is significant as it marks the community's recommitment to the Mosaic Law and their dedication to living according to God's commandments after the return from captivity. In Nehemiah 10:10 (BSB), Pelaljah is listed among the Levites who sealed the covenant: "And the Levites: Jeshua son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel, and their associates: Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan, Mica, Rehob, Hashabiah, Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah, Hodiah, Bani, and Beninu." The mention of Pelaljah in this context highlights the role of the Levites in the spiritual and communal life of Israel, particularly in leading the people in worship and adherence to the law. The name itself, meaning "Yahweh has judged," reflects a theological understanding of God's sovereignty and justice, themes that are central to the narrative of Israel's restoration and covenant renewal.
