Berean Strong's Lexicon Meshezabel: Meshezabel Original Word: מְשֵׁיזַבְאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots מָשָׁה (mashah, meaning "to draw out") and אֵל (El, meaning "God"), thus "God delivers" or "God rescues." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Meshezabel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. Usage: Meshezabel is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying "God delivers" or "God rescues." It reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of embedding theological significance within personal names, often expressing faith in God's intervention and deliverance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect circumstances of birth, prophetic insights, or parental hopes for the child's future. The name Meshezabel, with its emphasis on divine deliverance, would have been a reminder of God's saving power and faithfulness to His people. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God as a deliverer, a central tenet in the faith and identity of Israel.
