Berean Strong's Lexicon Bedeyah: Bedeyah Original Word: בְּדֵיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּדָה (bada), meaning "to invent" or "to devise," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Bedeyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of divine invention or devising can be related to Greek words like δημιουργός (demiourgos), meaning "creator" or "craftsman," which reflects God's creative power. Usage: Bedeyah is a proper name meaning "Yahweh has devised" or "Yahweh has invented." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting a recognition of God's sovereignty and creative power. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect attributes of God or significant events. The name Bedeyah, incorporating the divine name Yah, signifies a deep acknowledgment of God's role in the life of the individual or the community. This reflects the theocentric worldview of the Israelites, where God's involvement in daily life and history was paramount.
