Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּאַל (ga'al), meaning "to redeem" or "to deliver."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Jigal in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of redemption, associated with the root גָּאַל, can be linked to Greek terms such as λυτρόω (Strong's Greek 3084), meaning "to redeem" or "to ransom."

Usage: The name Jigal appears in the context of a specific individual in the Hebrew Bible. It is used as a personal name for one of the spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan.

Context: Jigal is mentioned in the Book of Numbers as one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the land of Canaan. Specifically, Jigal is identified as the representative from the tribe of Issachar. In Numbers 13:7, the Berean Standard Bible states: "from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph." The name Jigal, like other names of the spies, reflects a theme of divine action or hope, as it is derived from a root meaning "to redeem." The mission of the spies was to assess the land's resources and inhabitants, and their report significantly influenced the Israelites' journey in the wilderness.
