Berean Strong's Lexicon Yishmael: Ishmael Original Word: יִשְׁמָעֵאל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words שָׁמַע (shama, meaning "to hear") and אֵל (El, meaning "God"), thus "God hears." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ishmael in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Ishmael is primarily a Hebrew figure. However, the name appears in the New Testament in Galatians 4:22-23, where Paul uses the account of Ishmael and Isaac allegorically. Usage: Ishmael is a significant biblical figure whose name means "God hears." He is the first son of Abraham, born to Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian maidservant. The name reflects God's response to Hagar's distress in the wilderness, as He heard her affliction and promised her that her son would become a great nation. Cultural and Historical Background: Ishmael is a pivotal character in the Abrahamic traditions. In the Bible, he is considered the ancestor of the Ishmaelites, a nomadic people. His birth and life are intertwined with the covenantal promises made to Abraham. Ishmael's account highlights themes of divine providence, the complexity of human relationships, and the unfolding of God's plan through both chosen and non-chosen lines. In Islamic tradition, Ishmael is regarded as a prophet and an ancestor of Muhammad, further emphasizing his importance in the broader religious and cultural context.
