Berean Strong's Lexicon Yiphtach-el: Jiphthah-el Original Word: יִפְתַּח־אֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּתַח (pathach, Strong's 6605) meaning "to open" and אֵל (El, Strong's 410) meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Yiphtach-el, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of God opening or providing can be related to Greek words like ἀνοίγω (anoigo, Strong's 455), meaning "to open." Usage: The name Yiphtach-el means "God opens" or "God will open." It is used in the Bible to refer to a valley or region in the territory of the tribe of Zebulun. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, place names often carried significant meanings that reflected the character or history of the location. The name Yiphtach-el suggests a divine intervention or blessing, possibly indicating a fertile or strategically important area. The valley of Jiphthah-el was part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Zebulun, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, during the division of the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership.
