Strong's Lexicon Barakel: Barakel Original Word: בָּרַכְאֵל Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Barak'el Pronunciation: bah-rah-KAY-el Phonetic Spelling: (baw-rak-ale') Definition: Barakel Meaning: "God blesses" or "Blessed by God." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּרַךְ (barak), meaning "to bless," combined with אֵל (El), meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Barakel, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of blessing, as seen in the root בָּרַךְ (barak), can be related to Greek words such as εὐλογέω (eulogeō), Strong's Greek Number 2127, meaning "to bless." Usage: Barakel is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Barakel is mentioned in the Book of Job as the father of Elihu. Elihu is one of Job's friends who speaks in the latter part of the book. Barakel is identified as a Buzite, which suggests a connection to the tribe of Buz, a descendant of Nahor, Abraham's brother. This association places Barakel and his family within the broader context of the patriarchal narratives. The name Barakel itself reflects a theophoric element, indicating a cultural and religious acknowledgment of divine blessing. In Job 32:2, Barakel is introduced as follows: "Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite of the family of Ram became angry. He was angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God."
