Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Jedajah in the Strong's Greek Concordance. However, the concept of divine knowledge and priestly service can be related to Greek terms associated with knowledge (γνῶσις • gnosis) and priesthood (ἱερεύς • hiereus), though these are not direct translations of the name itself. Usage: Jedajah is a proper noun used as a masculine name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: • Jedajah is a name found in the genealogical records of the post-exilic community in the Old Testament. It is specifically mentioned in the context of the priestly divisions. The name reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of incorporating the divine name into personal names, signifying a relationship or acknowledgment of God's omniscience. • Biblical Reference: Jedajah is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 24:7, where he is listed as the head of one of the twenty-four priestly divisions established by King David. This division was responsible for serving in the temple, highlighting the importance of maintaining religious duties and worship practices. • 1 Chronicles 24:7 (BSB): "The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah." • The name Jedajah, while not frequently mentioned, represents the continuity of priestly service and the organizational structure that was crucial for the religious life of Israel. The division of priests into courses ensured that temple worship was conducted orderly and regularly, reflecting the community's dedication to upholding the covenant with Yahweh.
