Berean Strong's Lexicon Mechuyael or Mechiyyayel: Mehujael Original Word: מחויאל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חיה (chayah), meaning "to live," and אל (El), meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Mehujael, as it is a unique Hebrew name found in the Old Testament genealogies. Usage: The name Mehujael can be interpreted as "smitten by God" or "God gives life." It is a personal name found in the genealogies of the early chapters of Genesis. Cultural and Historical Background: Mehujael is a descendant of Cain, the firstborn son of Adam and Eve, who is known for committing the first murder by killing his brother Abel. The genealogies in Genesis 4 provide a lineage of Cain's descendants, highlighting the development of human civilization and culture outside of the line of Seth, Adam's other son. The name Mehujael reflects the ancient Hebrew practice of theophoric naming, where names often included references to God, indicating a cultural acknowledgment of divine influence or presence.
