Strong's Lexicon Berekyah or Berekyahu: Berechiah or Berechiah Original Word: בֶּרֶכְיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Berekyah Pronunciation: beh-rek-YAH or beh-rek-YAH-hoo Phonetic Spelling: (beh-rek-yaw') Definition: Berekjah Meaning: "Berekjah" means "Yahweh blesses" or "blessed by Yahweh." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּרַךְ (barak), meaning "to bless," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of the God of Israel. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G914 (Βαραχίας, Barachias), which is used in the New Testament. Barachias is mentioned in Matthew 23:35, referring to Zechariah, the son of Berekiah, whom Jesus cites as a martyr. This connection between the Hebrew and Greek forms of the name illustrates the continuity of biblical narratives and genealogies across the Testaments. Usage: Berekjah is a proper noun used as a masculine personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in genealogical and historical contexts. Context: Berekjah is a name found in the Old Testament, associated with several individuals: - Berekiah, the father of Zechariah: Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3:20, Berekiah is listed as the father of Zechariah, a descendant of David through the line of Zerubbabel. This lineage highlights the continuation of the Davidic line post-exile. - Berekiah, a Levite musician: In 1 Chronicles 15:17, Berekiah is identified as a Levite who played a role in the musical arrangements for the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem during King David's reign. This underscores the importance of music and worship in Israelite religious practices. - Berekiah, the father of Meshullam: In Nehemiah 3:4, 30, Berekiah is noted as the father of Meshullam, who participated in the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. This reflects the communal effort and dedication to restoring Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The name Berekjah, with its meaning "Yahweh blesses," signifies the acknowledgment of divine favor and blessing, a common theme in Hebrew names that often reflect theological beliefs and aspirations.
