INTRODUCTION

The following list of Bible names is a

compilation of material available in the best

Concordances and Bible Dictionaries. It is a

consensus of the meanings of Biblical names

from many scholars. "In the multitude of

counselors there is safety.” (Pr. 11:14).EXPLANATORY NOTES

The meaning of some Bible names is

completely unknown, or is so doubtful that there

is wide disagreement by Bible scholars. These

names are not found in our list. If only two or

three reference books give the same meaning to

a certain Bible name, them we have indicated

that the particular meaning given is very

questionable, by means of a question mark used

in two different ways: (1) Addi – (ornament?)and (2) Pas-dammin – border (or end) of blood

(?).

In the first example, the, word (or words)

will be found enclosed between parentheses, and

the last word is followed by a question mark, to

indicate that the meaning given is not generally

agreed“or end” are in parentheses, the question

mark is placed between parentheses, to indicate

that the whole meaning given – “border (or end)

of blood (?)” – is not generally agreed upon.

Words enclosed in parentheses, but notfollowed immediately by a question mark, are

used in the following cases: (1) Abihu — God is

(my) father. The word (my) in parentheses

indicates that this word is an alternate reading:

i.e. “God is father” is the preferred meaning,

but “God is my father” is also an acceptable

meaning for the word “Abihu.” (2) Ahira –

brother of (or is) wickedness. In this case, the

word “or” indicates that “is” may be substituted

for “of,” so that the meanings are “brother of

wickedness,” or “brother is wickedness.” (3)

Gittites – dwellers in Gath (winepress). In this

case, the word (or words) enclosed in

parentheses give the meaning of the Bible name

which it follows.

Alternate meanings indicated by the word

“or,” but not enclosed in parentheses, signify

that neither meaning is preferred. For example:

Shaalbim – cave or p lace of foxes. “Cave of

foxes, or “place of foxes," are equally acceptable

meanings.Generally speaking, one Bible reference,

giving book, chapter and verse, i.e. Gen.1:1 is

given for each Bible name, to indicate that the

name has the same meaning wherever used in

the Bible, and reference given shows the first

passage where the particular name is used. But,

when one Bible name in English represents two

or more words in the original, with separate

meanings, then it is necessary to indicate in

some way which references go with which

meaning. For example, Abel – (1) breath orvapor (Gen. 4:2); (2) meadow (only in 1Sa.

6:18 & 2Sa. 20:18). This indicates that there are

two words in the original, having separate

meanings, but which are represented in the

English language by the one word, “Abel.” One

meaning is “meadow,” and it means this only in

1Sa. 6:18 & 2Sa. 20:18. In all other references

where “Abel” is found, it means “breath or

vapor,” and the first reference where it has thismeaning is in Gen 4:2.

Ham – black; (hot?) (Gen. 5:32) (but not in

Gen. 14:5). This indicates that in Gen. 14:5

another word is used in the original, whose

meaning is unknown, or so questionable that it

is not given.
