Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root טָבַל (tabal), meaning "to dip" or "to immerse," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of the God of Israel.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for the Hebrew name טְבַלְיָהוּ (Tebaljah) in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Tebaljah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh.

Context: Tebaljah is a name found in the genealogical records of the post-exilic community of Israel. The name reflects the common practice of the Israelites to incorporate the name of God (Yahweh) into personal names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God. The root "טָבַל" (tabal) suggests an action of immersion or dipping, which may metaphorically imply a deep connection or dedication to Yahweh. The name Tebaljah is indicative of the religious and cultural milieu of the Israelites, where names were often chosen to reflect theological beliefs or divine attributes.

In the context of the post-exilic period, names like Tebaljah would have served as a reminder of the community's covenant relationship with Yahweh, especially as they sought to re-establish their identity and religious practices after the Babylonian exile. The use of such theophoric names underscores the centrality of Yahweh in the life and identity of the Israelite community.
