ΜΑΘΑΝΑΗΛʼ, μαθαναηλʼ
MATHANAĒLʼ, mathanaēlʼ
Sounds Like: mah-tha-NAH-ayl
Translations: Matthanai, Mattanai, Mattaniah
From the root: ΜΑΘΑΝΑΗΛ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun, referring to a male individual. It is a transliteration of a Hebrew name meaning 'gift of God' or 'gift of Yahweh'. The final apostrophe-like mark (keraia) indicates that the word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 40. However, in the provided context, it is clearly a name, so the keraia is likely a scribal mark or a variant spelling, or it could indicate an elision if it were a common noun, but for a proper noun, it's most likely a numerical indicator or a textual variant. Given the context, it functions as a name in a list of names.
