Strong's Lexicon Noadyah: Noadiah Original Word: נוֹעַדְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָעַד (ya'ad), meaning "to appoint" or "to meet." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Noadiah, as it is a unique Hebrew name. However, the concept of opposition to God's work can be seen in various New Testament contexts, such as the opposition faced by Paul and other apostles. Usage: Noadiah is a personal name meaning "the LORD has met" or "the LORD has appointed." It is used in the Bible to refer to a specific individual, a prophetess, who opposed Nehemiah during the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. Cultural and Historical Background: In the post-exilic period, during the time of Nehemiah, the Jewish community was focused on rebuilding Jerusalem and re-establishing their religious and social structures. Prophets and prophetesses played significant roles in guiding the people, but not all were aligned with God's purposes. Noadiah is mentioned as one who opposed Nehemiah, indicating the presence of internal opposition and the challenges faced by leaders in maintaining the community's focus on God's directives.
