ΙΩΣΕΔΕΚʼ, ιωσεδεκʼ
IŌSEDEKʼ, iōsedekʼ
Sounds Like: YOH-seh-dek
Translations: Josedech, Jehozadak
From the root: ΙΩΣΕΔΕΚ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun, referring to Josedech, a high priest mentioned in the Old Testament. The final character 'ʼ' is a keraia, which in ancient Greek texts indicates that the preceding letters are being used as a numeral. In this specific case, the letters ΙΩΣΕΔΕΚ sum up to 1039 (I=10, Ω=800, Σ=200, Ε=5, Δ=4, Κ=20). However, given the context of a proper noun, it is overwhelmingly likely that the keraia here is a scribal error or a misinterpretation of a name, and the word refers to the person Josedech, not a number. Therefore, it is treated as the proper noun Josedech.
