Name of God’s Son

ΙΕΡΟΒΟΑΛʼ, ιεροβοαλʼ

IEROBOALʼ, ieroboalʼ

Sounds Like: ee-eh-roh-boh-AHL

Translations: Jerubbaal

From the root: ΙΕΡΟΒΟΑΛ

Part of Speech: Proper Noun

Explanation: This is a proper noun, specifically a personal name. It refers to Jerubbaal, an alternative name for Gideon, a judge of Israel in the Old Testament. The name means 'let Baal contend' or 'Baal strives'. The apostrophe at the end is a keraia, indicating that the word is a numeral, but in this context, it is likely a scribal mark or a transcription artifact, as 'ΙΕΡΟΒΟΑΛ' is clearly a name and not a number. It is used to refer to the individual in narratives.

Inflection: Does not inflect
