Word Origin: Derived from יִזְרְעֶאל (Yizre'el), referring to the city of Jezreel.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for יִשַׂרְאֵלִי in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of identifying individuals by their place of origin is present in the Greek New Testament, where similar constructions are used to denote people from specific regions or cities.

Usage: The term יִשַׂרְאֵלִי is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals who are from the city of Jezreel. This term is used to identify people by their geographical origin, specifically from the region of Jezreel, which is located in the northern part of ancient Israel.

Context: The term יִשַׂרְאֵלִי (Yisre'eli) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a designation for individuals associated with the city of Jezreel. Jezreel was a significant city in the territory of Issachar, known for its fertile valley and strategic location. The city played a crucial role in various biblical narratives, including the stories of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. The term "Jisreelite" is used to identify people from this city, highlighting their connection to the region's cultural and historical context.

Notable mentions of Jisreelites in the Bible include Naboth the Jisreelite, whose vineyard was coveted by King Ahab, leading to a significant confrontation and subsequent divine judgment (1 Kings 21:1-16, BSB). The term is also used to describe Ahinoam, one of King David's wives, who is referred to as "Ahinoam of Jezreel" (1 Samuel 25:43, BSB). These references underscore the importance of geographical identity in the biblical narrative, as well as the socio-political dynamics of the time.
