Original Word: יִקָּה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: yiqhah
Pronunciation: yee-kaw'
Phonetic Spelling: (yik-kaw-haw')
Definition: Obedience, compliance

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָקָה (yakah), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of obedience or compliance.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of obedience is ὑπακοή (hypakoē), Strong's Greek #5218, which also denotes obedience or submission, particularly in the context of faith and adherence to God's commands.

Usage: The term "yiqhah" is understood to convey the idea of obedience or compliance, particularly in the context of adhering to divine commandments or instructions. It emphasizes a willing and attentive response to authority, especially God's authority as revealed in the Scriptures.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, obedience was a central tenet of the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Israelites were called to obey God's laws as a demonstration of their faithfulness and commitment to Him. This concept of obedience was not merely about following rules but was deeply tied to the idea of living in harmony with God's will and purpose. The Hebrew culture placed a strong emphasis on communal and individual adherence to the Torah, which was seen as the path to blessing and prosperity.
