Strong's Lexicon Yeberekyahu: Jeberechiah Original Word: יְבֶרֶכְיָהוּ Part of Speech: Proper Name Transliteration: Yberekyahuw Pronunciation: yeh-be-rek-YAH-hoo Phonetic Spelling: (yeb-eh-rek-yaw'-hoo) Definition: Jeberekjah Meaning: "Yahweh blesses" or "Blessed of 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: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jeberekjah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the concept of blessing, as encapsulated in the root בָּרַךְ (barak), can be related to Greek terms such as εὐλογέω (eulogeō), meaning "to bless." Usage: Jeberekjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Jeberekjah is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. The name appears in the context of a prophecy delivered by the prophet Isaiah. In Isaiah 8:2, Jeberekjah is identified as the father of Zechariah, who, along with Uriah the priest, was called upon by Isaiah to serve as a reliable witness to the prophecy concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. The passage reads: "And I will get reliable witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah—to attest for me" (Isaiah 8:2, BSB). This brief mention situates Jeberekjah within the historical and prophetic narrative of Isaiah, highlighting his role as the progenitor of a witness to a significant prophetic event. The name itself reflects a theophoric element, indicating a cultural and religious acknowledgment of Yahweh's blessing.
