Strong's Lexicon Yismakyahu: Yismakyahu Original Word: יִסְמַכְיָהוּ Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Yicmakyahuw Pronunciation: yis-mak-yaw'-hoo Phonetic Spelling: (yis-mak-yaw-hoo') Definition: Jismakjah Meaning: "Yahweh will uphold" or "Yahweh supports." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root סָמַךְ (samak), meaning "to support" or "to uphold," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for this specific Hebrew name, as it is a unique proper noun found in the Old Testament genealogies. However, the concept of divine support and upholding is echoed in various Greek terms related to God's sustaining power, such as ἀντιλαμβάνω (antilambanō • to help, support) and στηρίζω (stērizō • to establish, strengthen). Usage: This proper noun is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: • Jismakjah is a name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. It is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:10, where Jismakjah is listed as one of the sons of Elpaal. The name reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of incorporating the divine name Yahweh into personal names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God. The name Jismakjah, meaning "Yahweh will uphold," suggests a reliance on divine support and strength. This reflects the broader theological theme in the Hebrew Scriptures of God's sustaining power and faithfulness to His people.
