Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for Machsejah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament genealogies.

Usage: Machsejah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of an individual mentioned in the genealogical records. Context: Machsejah is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical lists of the post-exilic community. The name appears in the context of the return from Babylonian exile, highlighting the restoration of the Israelite community and the re-establishment of their identity centered around Yahweh. The name itself reflects a theological affirmation of trust and reliance on God as a protector and refuge. This is consistent with the broader biblical theme of God as a refuge for His people, as seen in various Psalms and prophetic writings. Machsejah's mention in the genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the post-exilic period, as the community sought to re-establish its covenantal relationship with God.
