However, the concept of divine council or secret might be related to Greek terms like μυστήριον (mystērion, Strong's Greek 3466) which means "mystery" or "secret," often used in the context of divine mysteries in the New Testament. Usage: Besodejah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a figure mentioned in the genealogies of the post-exilic community. Context: Besodejah is a name found in the genealogical records of the post-exilic period, specifically in the book of Nehemiah. The name appears in Nehemiah 3:6, where it is associated with the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. Besodejah is identified as the father of Joiada, who was one of the leaders responsible for repairing the Old Gate. This context places Besodejah within the narrative of the return from Babylonian exile and the restoration efforts led by Nehemiah. The name itself reflects a theophoric element, indicating a relationship or association with Yahweh, which was common in Hebrew names of the period. The mention of Besodejah in the context of rebuilding emphasizes the communal and religious dedication of the people involved in the restoration of Jerusalem.
