However, the concept of blessing, as encapsulated in the root בָּרַךְ (barak), can be related to Greek terms such as εὐλογέω (eulogeō), meaning "to bless." Usage: Jeberekjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Jeberekjah is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. The name appears in the context of a prophecy delivered by the prophet Isaiah. In Isaiah 8:2, Jeberekjah is identified as the father of Zechariah, who, along with Uriah the priest, was called upon by Isaiah to serve as a reliable witness to the prophecy concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. The passage reads: "And I will get reliable witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah—to attest for me" (Isaiah 8:2, BSB). This brief mention situates Jeberekjah within the historical and prophetic narrative of Isaiah, highlighting his role as the progenitor of a witness to a significant prophetic event. The name itself reflects a theophoric element, indicating a cultural and religious acknowledgment of Yahweh's blessing.
