Strong's Lexicon Yechiyyah: Yechiyyah Original Word: יְחִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָיָה (chayah), meaning "to live" or "to be alive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yechiyyah, the concept of "life" and "living" is captured in Greek by the word ζωή (zoe), Strong's Greek #2222, which is often used in the New Testament to describe eternal life through Christ. Usage: Yechiyyah is a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "Yahweh lives" or "the LORD lives." It reflects a theophoric element, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, and emphasizes the belief in the living God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes used to express theological beliefs or personal faith. The name Yechiyyah would have been a declaration of faith in the living God, Yahweh, distinguishing the God of Israel from the lifeless idols of surrounding nations. This name would have served as a reminder of God's active presence and sustaining power in the lives of His people.
