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

Context: • Jaareshjah is a name mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. It appears in 1 Chronicles 9:12, where it is listed among the descendants of Benjamin who returned from the Babylonian exile. The name reflects a theophoric element, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, which was common in Hebrew names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God. The specific meaning "Yahweh is forest" may suggest a metaphorical or symbolic connection to the natural world, possibly indicating a place of refuge or strength provided by God, akin to the shelter and resources found in a forest. The context of its usage in the genealogical record highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the post-exilic community, emphasizing the continuity of the people of Israel and their connection to their ancestral lands and divine promises.
