Strong's Lexicon Tsuriel: Tsuriel Original Word: צוּרִיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words "צוּר" (tsur, meaning "rock" or "strength") and "אֵל" (el, meaning "God"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tsuriel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God as a "rock" is echoed in the New Testament, such as in 1 Corinthians 10:4, where Christ is referred to as the spiritual rock. Usage: Tsuriel means "My rock is God" or "God is my rock." It is a theophoric name, which is a type of name that includes a reference to God, indicating the faith and reliance of the individual or their family on God's strength and protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect personal faith, divine attributes, or significant events. The name Tsuriel reflects a deep trust in God as a source of strength and stability, which was a common theme in the spiritual life of the Israelites. The use of "rock" as a metaphor for God is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing God's reliability and protection.
