Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Jaakobah in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the Greek equivalent for Jacob, from which Jaakobah is derived, is Ἰακώβ (Iakōb), corresponding to Strong's Greek Number 2384.

Usage: Jaakobah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is a variant of the name Jacob, which is more commonly known.

Context: • Jaakobah is a name found in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the context of the descendants of Asher. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 4:36, where Jaakobah is listed among the sons of Zophah, a member of the tribe of Asher. This tribe is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Asher, the eighth son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant.
• The name Jaakobah, like Jacob, carries the connotation of supplanting or following, which is significant in the biblical narrative of Jacob, who was known for his role in supplanting his brother Esau. However, Jaakobah himself is not a central figure in biblical stories, and his mention is primarily genealogical, serving to establish lineage and tribal affiliations.
• The genealogical records in 1 Chronicles serve to affirm the continuity and heritage of the Israelite tribes, emphasizing the importance of family and tribal identity in the biblical narrative. Jaakobah's inclusion in these records highlights the detailed nature of these genealogies and their role in preserving the history and identity of the people of Israel.
