Strong's Lexicon Yaaqobah: Jacobah Original Word: יַעֲקֹבָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Yaaqobah Pronunciation: yah-ak-o-bah' Phonetic Spelling: (yah-ak-o'-baw) Definition: Jacobah Meaning: Jaakobah Word Origin: Derived from יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqob), meaning "Jacob" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of Jacob is Ἰακώβ (Iakob), Strong's Greek 2384. Usage: The name Yaaqobah is a variant of the name Jacob, which means "he grasps the heel" or "supplanter." It is used to refer to individuals or places associated with the patriarch Jacob, one of the key figures in the Hebrew Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: Jacob is a central figure in the biblical narrative, known as the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the twin brother of Esau. He is a patriarch of the Israelites, and his account is foundational to the history and identity of the Jewish people. Jacob's life is marked by his struggle with God and man, his eventual name change to Israel, and his role as the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name Yaaqobah, as a variant, would carry the same cultural and historical significance, emphasizing the legacy and covenantal promises associated with Jacob.
