Berean Strong's Lexicon
Yizliy'ah: Yizliy'ah

Original Word: יִזְלִיָּה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Yizliy'ah
Pronunciation: yiz-lee-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (yiz-lee-aw')
Definition: Yizliy'ah
Meaning: Jizliah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָלָה (zaláh), meaning "to pour out" or "to flow."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper name Yizliy'ah, as it is specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of divine outpouring or blessing can be related to Greek words like χάρις (charis, Strong's G5485), meaning "grace" or "favor."

Usage: Yizliy'ah is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a descendant of Benjamin, specifically mentioned as one of the sons of Elpaal. The name may carry the connotation of "Yahweh will pour out" or "Yahweh will flow," reflecting a sense of divine blessing or abundance.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the parents' hopes for their child. The tribe of Benjamin, to which Yizliy'ah belonged, was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its warriors and its strategic location between the northern and southern kingdoms. The genealogies in the Bible, including those in 1 Chronicles, served to establish tribal and familial identities, which were crucial for inheritance rights and social structure.
