◄ 5661. Abdiel ►
Strong's Lexicon Abdiel: Abdiel Original Word: עַבְדִיאֵל Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: `Abdiy'el Pronunciation: av-dee-EL Phonetic Spelling: (ab-dee-ale') Definition: Abdiel Meaning: "Servant of God" or "Worshiper of God." Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֶבֶד (eved, meaning "servant") and אֵל (El, meaning "God"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name עַבְדִיאֵל (Abdiel) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogical records. However, the concept of servitude to God can be related to Greek terms like δοῦλος (doulos, Strong's Greek 1401), meaning "servant" or "slave," often used in the New Testament to describe a servant of God or Christ. Usage: Abdiel is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible. Context: • Abdiel is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Gad in the Old Testament. He is identified as the son of Guni. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 5:15, where it is recorded: "Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family." This brief mention situates Abdiel within the context of the tribal lineage, emphasizing the importance of genealogy in maintaining the heritage and identity of the Israelite tribes. The name itself, meaning "Servant of God," reflects a common theme in Hebrew names, where the relationship to God is a central element of identity. The use of such a name suggests a family or personal dedication to the service and worship of God, which was a significant aspect of Israelite culture and religious life.
