◄ 6274. Othniel ►
Strong's Lexicon Othniel: Othniel Original Word: עָתְנִיאֵל Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: `Othniy'el Pronunciation: awth-nee-ale' Phonetic Spelling: (oth-nee-ale') Definition: Othniel Meaning: "God is my strength" or "Lion of God." Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֹתֶן (oten) meaning "force" or "strength" and אֵל (El) meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Othniel in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of a judge or deliverer in the Greek Septuagint might be related to terms like κριτής (kritēs, Strong's Greek 2923) meaning "judge." Usage: Othniel is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Othniel is a significant figure in the Book of Judges, recognized as the first judge of Israel after the death of Joshua. He is introduced in Judges 1:13 and further detailed in Judges 3:9-11. Othniel was the son of Kenaz, who was the younger brother of Caleb, making him Caleb's nephew. He gained prominence by capturing the city of Debir (also known as Kiriath-sepher) and, as a reward, was given Caleb's daughter, Achsah, in marriage (Judges 1:12-13). Othniel's most notable role was as a deliverer of Israel. When the Israelites fell into idolatry and were oppressed by King Cushan-Rishathaim of Aram Naharaim, they cried out to the LORD for help. God raised Othniel as a judge to deliver them. Empowered by the Spirit of the LORD, Othniel led Israel to victory over their oppressors, bringing peace to the land for forty years (Judges 3:9-11). His leadership marked the beginning of the cyclical pattern of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance that characterizes the period of the judges.
