Strong's Lexicon Delayah or Delayahu: Delaiah or Delaiah-hu Original Word: דְּלָיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root דָּלָה (dalah), meaning "to draw" or "to lift," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Delaiah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, names with the theophoric element "Yah" might be translated or transliterated in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The name Delaiah or Delayahu means "Yahweh has drawn" or "Yahweh has lifted." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, indicating a relationship or acknowledgment of God's action in their lives. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often reflected personal faith, divine attributes, or significant events. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Delaiah signifies a theophoric element, common in Hebrew names, which denotes a connection to Yahweh. This reflects the cultural importance of acknowledging God's role in personal and communal life. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom dalah and Yah Definition "Yah has drawn," five Isr.
