Strong's Lexicon Yesarelah: Yesarelah Original Word: יְשַׂרְאֵלָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָשַׁר (yashar, meaning "upright" or "straight") combined with אֵל (El, meaning "God"), thus forming a theophoric name. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yesarelah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew name. However, Greek names with similar theophoric elements might include those containing "Theos" (God), such as Theophilus (Strong's Greek 2321). Usage: The name Yesarelah can be understood to mean "God is upright" or "God is straight." It is a proper noun used to denote a specific individual or group within the context of the Hebrew Bible. The name reflects a characteristic or attribute of God, emphasizing His righteousness and moral integrity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes used to convey theological truths or familial hopes. The use of theophoric elements like "El" in names was common, reflecting the centrality of God in the lives of the Israelites. Names served not only as identifiers but also as reminders of divine attributes or promises.
