Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צֶבִי (tsvi), meaning "gazelle" or "beauty."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Tsibjah, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of beauty or grace can be related to Greek words such as χάρις (charis, Strong's Greek 5485), meaning "grace" or "favor," which captures a similar essence of beauty and divine favor. Usage: Tsibjah is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Tsibjah is mentioned in the context of the royal lineage of the Kingdom of Judah. She is identified as the mother of King Joash (also known as Jehoash), who reigned in Judah. Her mention is found in 2 Kings 12:1 and 2 Chronicles 24:1, where she is noted as the wife of King Ahaziah. Tsibjah's role as the queen mother is significant, as she would have held a position of influence in the royal court. Her name, meaning "gazelle" or "beauty of Jehovah," reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of using nature and divine attributes in personal names. The gazelle, known for its grace and beauty, may symbolize the qualities attributed to her or the hope for her offspring. Tsibjah's legacy is primarily tied to her son Joash, who became king at a young age and was guided by the priest Jehoiada in restoring the temple and religious practices in Judah.
