Strong's Lexicon Maknadbay: Maknadbay Original Word: מַכְנַדְבַי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קָנָד (qanad), meaning "to gather" or "to assemble," combined with the suffix בַּי (bay), possibly indicating a place or person. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of gathering or assembly might correspond to Greek words like ἐκκλησία (ekklesia, Strong's G1577), meaning "assembly" or "church." Usage: The name "Maknadbay" could be interpreted as "Gatherer of the House" or "Assembly of the House." It might refer to a person known for bringing people together or a place where gatherings occur. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or descriptive of a person's character or destiny. The concept of gathering or assembly was central to Israelite society, particularly in religious contexts such as festivals, worship, and community decision-making.
