Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3774: Ουρίας (Ourias) • This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew Urijah, used in the New Testament to refer to Uriah the Hittite, the husband of Bathsheba, in the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:6).

Urijah, as a name, reflects the theological emphasis on Yahweh as a source of light and guidance, a theme that resonates throughout the biblical narrative. The individuals bearing this name played significant roles in the religious and political life of ancient Israel and Judah, illustrating the complex interplay between faith, prophecy, and leadership.

Usage: Urijah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to several individuals, most notably a priest and a prophet.

Context: • Urijah the Priest: Urijah was a priest during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. He is mentioned in 2 Kings 16:10-16, where he is instructed by King Ahaz to construct an altar based on a model seen in Damascus. Urijah complies with the king's orders, demonstrating the influence of foreign worship practices on Judah during this period.
• Urijah the Prophet: Another notable figure named Urijah is a prophet from Kiriath-jearim, mentioned in Jeremiah 26:20-23. He prophesied against Jerusalem and Judah, similar to Jeremiah's prophecies. However, King Jehoiakim sought his life, and Urijah fled to Egypt. He was eventually captured, brought back to Judah, and executed by the king.
• Other References: Urijah is also mentioned in Nehemiah 3:4, 21 as one of the builders who repaired the wall of Jerusalem. This Urijah is identified as the son of Hakkoz.
