Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name יוֹסֵף (Yoseph)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3130 יוֹסֵף (Yoseph) • Joseph, the son of Jacob and Rachel, and a prominent figure in the Book of Genesis.
• H3254 יָסַף (yasaph) • A root word meaning "to add," from which the name Joseph is derived, reflecting the meaning "he will add" or "Jehovah has added."

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the name Ἰωσὴφ as it appears in the New Testament, highlighting its significance in the biblical narrative and its Hebrew origins.

Usage: The name Ἰωσὴφ is used in the New Testament to refer to several individuals, most notably Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy disciple who provided his own tomb for Jesus' burial.

Context: • Joseph, Husband of Mary: Joseph is a central figure in the nativity narratives of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. He is described as a righteous man who, upon learning of Mary's pregnancy, initially plans to divorce her quietly. However, an angel of the Lord appears to him in a dream, instructing him to take Mary as his wife because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18-24, BSB). Joseph obeys the angel's command, demonstrating his faith and obedience to God. He is also noted for his role in protecting the young Jesus by fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre (Matthew 2:13-15, BSB).

• Joseph of Arimathea: A member of the Sanhedrin and a secret disciple of Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea is noted for his courage in requesting the body of Jesus from Pilate after the crucifixion. He provides his own new tomb for Jesus' burial, fulfilling the prophecy that the Messiah would be buried with the rich (Matthew 27:57-60, BSB; John 19:38-42, BSB).

• Joseph, Son of Jacob: Although primarily an Old Testament figure, Joseph, the son of Jacob, is referenced in the New Testament as an ancestor of Jesus, particularly in the genealogies presented in the Gospels (Matthew 1:2, BSB; Luke 3:30-34, BSB). His story is a testament to God's providence and faithfulness, as he rises from slavery to become a powerful leader in Egypt, ultimately saving his family from famine.
