Original Word: בִּתְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine
Transliteration: Bithyah
Pronunciation: bith-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (bith-yaw')
Definition: Bithjah
Meaning: "Daughter of Yahweh" or "Worshipper of Yahweh."

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words בַּת (bath, meaning "daughter") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Bithjah, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Bithjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Bithjah is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:18, where she is identified as the daughter of Pharaoh who married Mered, a member of the tribe of Judah. This connection highlights a significant integration of a foreign royal into the Israelite community, suggesting a possible alliance or conversion. The name Bithjah itself reflects a theophoric element, indicating a reverence or dedication to Yahweh, which is notable given her Egyptian heritage. This name is unique in the biblical text, and Bithjah's story is a testament to the diverse and sometimes unexpected ways in which individuals from different backgrounds became part of the Israelite narrative.
