Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to obey or to be obedient.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun יָקֶה (Jakeh) in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a unique Hebrew name without a corresponding Greek translation. Usage: The name Jakeh appears in the Old Testament as the father of Agur, who is credited with writing Proverbs 30. The name is mentioned only once in the Bible. Context: Jakeh is a biblical figure known primarily as the father of Agur, the author of Proverbs 30. The name Jakeh is mentioned in Proverbs 30:1, which introduces the sayings of Agur. The verse reads: "The words of Agur son of Jakeh, the oracle: This man declared to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal." (BSB). The context of this passage suggests that Jakeh was a man of some standing, as his son Agur is attributed with wisdom literature that is included in the biblical canon. The etymology of Jakeh, suggesting obedience, may imply a character trait or a familial reputation for adherence to divine or moral law. However, beyond this mention, there is no additional biblical or historical information about Jakeh, leaving his life and background largely a matter of speculation.
