Strong's Lexicon Meshelemyah or Meshelemyahu: Meshelemiah Original Word: מְשֶׁלֶמְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁלַם (shalom), meaning "to be complete" or "to be at peace," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Meshelemiah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name specific to the Old Testament context. Usage: The name Meshelemiah means "Yahweh repays" or "Yahweh is peace." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a Levitical gatekeeper. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the role of gatekeepers was significant, especially in the context of the temple. They were responsible for guarding the entrances, ensuring the sanctity and security of the sacred space. The Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties, often filled these roles. Meshelemiah, as a gatekeeper, would have been entrusted with maintaining the order and holiness of the temple environment.
