Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָדַע (yada), meaning "to know," combined with יְהוֹ (Yo), a shortened form of the Tetragrammaton, יהוה (YHWH), meaning "the LORD."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Jojada in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogies and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of divine knowledge is present in Greek through words like γινώσκω (ginosko, Strong's Greek 1097), meaning "to know," which reflects the root idea of the Hebrew יָדַע (yada).

Usage: Jojada is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Jojada is a name found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in genealogical records. The name reflects a common practice in ancient Israel of incorporating the divine name into personal names, signifying a relationship or acknowledgment of God's omniscience.
• The name Jojada is not directly associated with any major biblical narrative or character but is part of the broader tapestry of Israelite genealogy, which often served to establish tribal and familial identities and connections.
• The use of the name Jojada underscores the cultural and religious significance of names in the Hebrew tradition, where names often conveyed theological truths or personal attributes believed to be bestowed by God.
