Strong's Lexicon Yoezer: Yoezer Original Word: יוֹעֶזֶר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָעַז (ya'az), meaning "to help" or "to aid." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yoezer in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of divine help is echoed in Greek terms like βοηθός (boēthos, Strong's G998), meaning "helper." Usage: Yoezer is a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "Yahweh is help" or "Yahweh helps." It reflects the belief in divine assistance and support, a common theme in the Hebrew Scriptures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the parents' faith or experiences. The name Yoezer, emphasizing divine help, would have been a testament to the parents' reliance on God's assistance. This reflects the broader cultural context where the Israelites frequently sought Yahweh's intervention in their lives, whether in personal matters or national crises.
