Berean Strong's Lexicon Yishvah: Yishvah Original Word: יִשְׁוָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁוָה (shavah), meaning "to be equal" or "to resemble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yishvah, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. However, genealogical lists in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) may transliterate Hebrew names into Greek characters. Usage: Yishvah is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to identify one of the sons of Asher, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob (Israel). The name Yishvah may carry the connotation of "level" or "equal," reflecting a characteristic or aspiration of the individual or family. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of personal characteristics, family heritage, or divine attributes. Asher, the father of Yishvah, was one of the tribes of Israel, known for its prosperity and blessing. The tribe of Asher was allotted land in the northern part of Israel, which was fertile and conducive to agriculture. The mention of Yishvah as a son of Asher places him within the broader narrative of the Israelite tribes and their genealogies, which were important for maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights.
