ΙΩΣΑΒΕΘʼ, ιωσαβεθʼ
IŌSABETHʼ, iōsabethʼ
Sounds Like: ee-oh-sah-BETH
Translations: Jochebed
From the root: ΙΩΣΑΒΕΘ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun, referring to Jochebed, the mother of Moses and Aaron in the Old Testament. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this is a numerical value, specifically 10 + 800 + 200 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 9 = 1045. However, in this context, it is almost certainly a proper name, and the keraia is likely a scribal mark or a misinterpretation of a coronis, or simply a stylistic choice in some manuscripts, as proper nouns are not typically marked with keraia for numerical value. It is the name of a specific individual.
