Strong's Lexicon Chabayah: Chabayah Original Word: חֲבַיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָבָה (chavah), meaning "to hide" or "to protect," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Chabayah, the concept of God's protection and providence is echoed in Greek terms such as σῴζω (sózó, Strong's Greek 4982), meaning "to save" or "to preserve," and ἐπισκιάζω (episkiazó, Strong's Greek 1982), meaning "to overshadow" or "to protect." Usage: Chabayah is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible. It is often understood to mean "Yahweh hides" or "Yahweh protects." This name reflects a theological understanding of God's protective and providential care over His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to reflect the character or attributes of God, or to commemorate significant events or divine interventions. The name Chabayah would have been a reminder of God's protective nature, a theme prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures. This reflects the cultural importance of names as expressions of faith and identity in the biblical world.
