Word Origin: Derived from the root זָרַח (zārach), meaning "to rise" or "to shine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew proper noun יִזְרָח (Jizrach) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific personal name unique to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, Greek terms related to light or rising, such as ἀνατολή (anatolē, meaning "rising" or "east"), may conceptually align with the root meaning of the name.

Usage: This proper noun is used in the context of a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Jizrach is a proper noun found in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. It is a name that appears in the lineage of the tribe of Judah. The name is indicative of the cultural and linguistic practice of using terms related to natural phenomena, such as the rising of the sun, to denote individuals, possibly reflecting characteristics or aspirations associated with the person or family.
• The name Jizrach is mentioned in the context of the descendants of Judah, highlighting the importance of genealogical records in the Hebrew Scriptures. These records served not only as historical accounts but also as a means of establishing tribal and familial identities within the Israelite community.
• The root of the name, זָרַח (zārach), is often associated with light and dawn, symbolizing new beginnings, hope, and divine favor. This symbolic meaning may have been significant in the naming of individuals within the tribe of Judah, which held a prominent position among the tribes of Israel.
• The use of such names reflects the broader biblical theme of light as a metaphor for God's presence and guidance, as seen in various passages throughout the Scriptures.
