Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jabneel, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of God building or establishing is present in various Greek terms related to construction and divine action, such as οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeō), meaning "to build" or "to edify."

Usage: Jabneel is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a specific location.

Context: Jabneel is mentioned in the Old Testament as a city located in the territory of the tribe of Judah. It is referenced in the context of the delineation of tribal boundaries. In Joshua 15:11, Jabneel is described as part of the border of Judah: "The border extended to the side of Ekron northward, then curved to Shikkeron, passed along to Mount Baalah, continued to Jabneel, and ended at the sea." This indicates its geographical significance as a boundary marker. Additionally, Jabneel is mentioned in Joshua 19:33 as a city in the territory of Naphtali, suggesting that there may have been more than one location with this name or that the name was used for different places over time. The city of Jabneel is historically significant as it reflects the ancient practice of naming places with theological implications, emphasizing divine involvement in the establishment and prosperity of the city.
