Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Hodiah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of a Jewess or female member of the Jewish community can be related to Greek terms such as Ἰουδαία (Ioudaia), which refers to a Jewish woman or Jewess in the New Testament context.

Usage: The name Hodiah appears in the context of genealogical records and is used to identify a female member of the Jewish people. It is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the genealogies of the post-exilic community.

Context: Hodiah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 4:19, Hodiah is identified as the wife of Mered, a descendant of Judah. The passage highlights her role within the family lineage, emphasizing the importance of women in the continuation of the tribal heritage. The name Hodiah, meaning "praise" or "thanksgiving," reflects a common theme in Hebrew names, which often express a relationship with God or a characteristic of the individual. The mention of Hodiah in the genealogies underscores the significance of women in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of family and community identity.
