Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name אֲצַלְיָהוּ (Atsaljah) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and context. However, Greek names that incorporate the divine element (such as Θεός, Theos, meaning "God") may serve a similar function in terms of indicating divine association or favor.

Usage: This proper noun is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Atsaljah is a name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. The name reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of incorporating the divine name Yahweh into personal names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God. The meaning "Yahweh has reserved" suggests a sense of divine selection or preservation, possibly indicating that the individual or their lineage was set apart for a specific purpose by God.
• The name appears in the context of the post-exilic period, a time when the Jewish people were re-establishing their identity and heritage after returning from Babylonian captivity. Names like Atsaljah would have served as a reminder of God's ongoing involvement and covenant with His people.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the name is mentioned in genealogical lists, which were important for establishing tribal and familial connections, as well as for maintaining the purity of the Israelite community.
