Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jezanjah, as this is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. However, the concept of God hearing or listening is reflected in various Greek terms related to divine attention and response, such as ἀκούω (akouo • to hear) and εὐήκοος (euēkoos • well-hearing, attentive). Usage: Jezanjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to an individual mentioned in the context of the events surrounding the fall of Jerusalem and the subsequent governance of the remnant in Judah. Context: Jezanjah is a figure mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah, specifically in Jeremiah 40:8. He is identified as one of the military leaders who came to Gedaliah at Mizpah after the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem. Jezanjah, along with other captains, sought to align themselves with Gedaliah, whom the Babylonians had appointed as governor over the remaining people in the land. This gathering at Mizpah was a significant moment as it represented an attempt to establish some form of governance and stability in the aftermath of the city's destruction. The name Jezanjah reflects a theophoric element, indicating a connection to Yahweh, which was common in Hebrew names of the period. The presence of Jezanjah in the narrative underscores the complex political and social dynamics during the Babylonian exile.
