Strong's Lexicon Uw'el: Uel Original Word: אוּאֵל Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Uw'el Pronunciation: oo-ale' Phonetic Spelling: (oo-ale') Definition: Uel Meaning: Uel is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying "desire of God" or "will of God." Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew components: אוּ (ū) meaning "will" or "desire" and אֵל (El) meaning "God." Thus, the name can be understood as "desire of God" or "will of God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Uel, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Uel is mentioned in the context of the post-exilic period, specifically in the book of Ezra. It is the name of a leader among the exiles returning from Babylon to Jerusalem. Context: Uel appears in the book of Ezra, specifically in Ezra 10:34, as one of the sons of Bani. The context of this mention is during the time of Ezra's reforms, where the Israelites were called to separate themselves from foreign wives to maintain the purity of the community and adherence to the Law of Moses. Uel is listed among those who had taken foreign wives and were required to put them away as part of the covenant renewal process. This period was marked by a strong emphasis on religious and cultural identity, as the returning exiles sought to re-establish their community in accordance with the Torah. Uel's inclusion in this list highlights the widespread nature of the issue and the collective commitment to reform and obedience to God's commandments.
