Strong's Lexicon Ebyasaph: Ebyasaph Original Word: אֶבְיָסָף Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָב ('ab, meaning "father") and יָסַף (yasaph, meaning "to add" or "to increase"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ebyasaph in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name specific to the Old Testament genealogies. Usage: Ebyasaph means "my father has gathered" or "the father has added." It is a personal name used in the genealogies of the Levites, specifically within the Kohathite clan, which was one of the divisions of the Levites responsible for the care of the sanctuary. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The Levites, to whom Ebyasaph belonged, were a tribe set apart for religious duties and the service of the Tabernacle, and later the Temple. The Kohathites, in particular, had the responsibility of caring for the most sacred objects of the sanctuary, including the Ark of the Covenant.
