Names in the Bible
Each name mentioned in the Bible has a specific meaning...here are a few to get an idea as to the meaning of the names...
Starting with Genesis:
Adam: man
Eve: life, living
Abel: a breath, vapor, or vanity
Cain: a possession; a spear
Seth: appointed; a substitute
Enoch: initiated; dedication; commencement—probably signifying a new manner of life
Jared: descent
Irad: runner; wild ass; townsman
Mehujael: smitten by God
Methusael: champion of El; man of God
Lamechadah: (Unknown but suggested meanings of Lamech-man of prayer; powerful; youth; strong young man; conqueror; one who overthrows; destroyer; the strikerdown.)
Zillah: (Unknown)
Jabel: (Unknown)
Jubal: jubilee, music
Tubalcain: (Compound Name; Tubal- suggested :The name of a biblical man and a nation probably descended from him…Cain-a possession; a spear)
Naamah: (Naam-rooth of name means) pleasantness
The meaning of names is significant. Here is what I found on the internet. There are lists that tell about names of men, women, etc...found at this link:
http://christiananswers.net/dictionary/men.html
I am interested in what the names mean, when in context with the order of names given in the scriptures. Kind of like this (taking the meaning of the names that I have already given and only using the meaning of the names...(I made one correction, Cain was born before Abel...)
