Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for Maazjah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the concept of God as a refuge or strength is echoed in various Greek terms used in the New Testament, such as σῴζω (sōzō, Strong's Greek 4982) meaning "to save" or "to deliver," and ἰσχύς (ischys, Strong's Greek 2479) meaning "strength" or "might."

Usage: Maazjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a priestly figure mentioned in the post-exilic period.

Context: Maazjah is identified as a priest who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. He is listed among the priests who sealed the covenant in Nehemiah 10:8. This indicates his role in the religious and communal restoration of Jerusalem and the reestablishment of the Jewish community after the exile. The name reflects a common practice of the time, where names were often theophoric, incorporating the name of God to signify faith and divine protection. Maazjah's inclusion in the list of covenant signatories highlights his importance in the religious leadership and his commitment to the spiritual renewal of the people.
