Berean Strong's Lexicon Pelalyah: Pelaliah Original Word: פְּלַלְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּלַל (palal), meaning "to judge" or "to intercede," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Pelalyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of divine judgment or intercession can be related to Greek terms like κρίνω (krinō, Strong's G2919) meaning "to judge." Usage: The name Pelalyah means "Yahweh has judged" or "Yahweh has intervened." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a relationship or action attributed to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or experiences. The inclusion of the divine name in Pelalyah suggests a recognition of God's sovereignty and justice. The use of such names was common among the Israelites, reflecting their monotheistic belief and reliance on Yahweh.
