Strong's Lexicon Shobyah: Shobyah Original Word: שָׁבְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּב (shuv), meaning "to return" or "to restore." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There may not be a direct Greek equivalent for the name Shobyah, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. However, the concept of restoration or return is echoed in Greek terms like ἀποκατάστασις (apokatastasis), which means "restoration." Usage: Shobyah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name likely carries the connotation of "Yahweh has returned" or "Yahweh restores," reflecting a theme of divine restoration or return. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the circumstances of a person's birth or the hopes and prayers of the parents. The use of the divine name Yahweh in Shobyah suggests a strong religious or spiritual significance, possibly indicating a family devoted to Yahweh or an event of divine intervention or blessing.
