Strong's Lexicon Yiphtach: Jephthah Original Word: יִפְתָּח Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּתַח (pathach), meaning "to open." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jephthah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as his account is primarily contained within the Old Testament. Usage: Yiphtach, or Jephthah, is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It means "he opens" or "whom God sets free." Jephthah is a significant figure in the Book of Judges, known for being a judge of Israel who led the Israelites in battle against the Ammonites. Cultural and Historical Background: Jephthah was a Gileadite and the son of Gilead and a prostitute. Due to his mother's status, he was initially ostracized by his half-brothers and fled to the land of Tob, where he gathered a group of adventurers. Despite his outcast status, Jephthah was called upon by the elders of Gilead to lead them against the Ammonites due to his reputation as a valiant warrior. His account is notable for his vow to God, which led to a tragic fulfillment involving his daughter. Jephthah's narrative reflects the turbulent period of the Judges, characterized by cycles of apostasy, oppression, and deliverance.
