What's The Meaning Of Gad Or Naphtali Mean?
The name Naphtali or Naftali means “wrestling” derived from neft’elt’el in both languages and has the same meaning as Rachel intended.
GAD
“And when Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a son. And Leah said, a troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.” (Genesis 30: 9-11)
The name Gad or Ga’d means “Guard” such as soldiers and is similar to what Leah meant to have its meaning.
ASHER
“And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son. And Leah said, happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed and she called his name Asher.” (Genesis 30: 12-13)
Asher, Asye’r or A’ser means “Happiness” and that is what it is meant to be in the message of Leah.
ISSACHAR
“And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, …show more content…
and bare Jacob the fifth son. And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.” (Genesis: 17-18)
Issachar could be written as Issa-cya’r or Issa- ka’r and means “devise-guard.”
ZEBULUN
“And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. And Leah said, God has endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.” (Genesis 30: 19-20) Zebulun has no Tigre or Geez meaning but Zebun means “down-payment” which is similar to dowry and thus, the meaning intended by Leah.
JOSEPH
“And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. And she conceived and bare a son; and she said, God hath taken away my reproach: and she called his name Joseph, and said, the Lord shall add to me another son.” (Genesis 30: 22-24)
Replacing the “j” with “y” and also replacing the “p” with “b” the name Joseph becomes Yoseby. Therefore Yo’seby or O’seby means “My reprimand” or “My reproach.” Even though Yoseby doesn’t sound the same as Joseph it has exactly the meaning Rachel intended it to be.
BENJAMIN
“And it came to pass that when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her. Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. And it came to pass that when her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni. But his father called him Benjamin.” (Genesis 35: 17-18) Benoni or Ben-oni, pronounced as Ben-o’nay, means “by them-death” or “by him-death) which
is what happened to Rachel. But his father called him Benjamin or Ben-yamin, which means “By them-he believes.” But if we are to pronounce the “ya” as “a’” then Ben-a’min means “By them- death” or “By him-death” which means the same thing as the first name.
JEGAR SAHADUTHA AND GALEED
“Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. And jacb said unto his brethren. Gather stones; and they took stone and made an heap: and they did eat upon the heap. And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.” (Genesis 31: 44-47)
This covenant between Laban, “the refuser,” and Jacob was entered when Jacob and his family left for his homeland without the endorsement of Laban. The Lord cautioned Laban, in a dream, not to harm Jacob so he left Jacob to continue his journey. And that is when they entered into a covenant.
Laban called the place where they entered the covenant Ye-gar-sahadutha. Ye-gar-saya’dutha means “The-compensation of-help” referring to the many years Jacob served Laban. But Jacob rejected the name of the place and gave it his own name and called it Galeed. Galee’d means “taking by force” which is precisely what Jacob did. He took his family by force even though Laban refused to let him go to his fatherland.
ISRAEL
“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him . . . . And he said unto him what is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince hath thou power with God and with men, and hath prevailed.” (Genesis 32: 24-28)
Isra-el pronounced as Isi’ra-el means “victory of-God.” Isira is derived from misa’r or si’ret which means “winning” “prevailing” or “victory.” Hence, Jacob fought against the angel and prevailed or won.
PENIEL AND PENUEL
“And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.” (Genesis 32: 29-31)
Since the letter “p” is rarely used in Tigre and Geez it is changed to the letter “b.” Hence Peniel or B-e’ni-el means “By-my eyes-God” or by my eyes I saw God. And Penuel or B-enu-el means “By-his eyes-God” or by his eyes God saw me.
ELELO HE ISRAEL
“And he (Jacob) bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money. And he erected there an alter, and called it Elelohe Israel.” (Genesis
33: 19-20)
This is the first on record that Jacob or Israel acquired a piece of land since he returned to his fatherland. Ele’lo-ye-Israel simply means “the- rise of-Israel” in a straightforward Geez and Tigre.
ALLON-BACHUTH
“But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.” (Genesis
35:8)
Allon is derived from the word mi’law and means “to fall violently” or “death.” And bachuth or bacyu’tay means “By-digging.” And hence, the name means death and burial by digging.
MANASSEH AND EPHRAIM
“And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of the famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” (Genesis 41:50-52)
The names of Joseph’s children have similarly meanings that coincide with those Joseph meant them to be. Manasseh or Manassey means “forgetting.” The birth of Manasseh consoled Joseph and made him forget his past of afflictions.
Similarly the name Ephraim or Efra-im means
“fruitfulness of-grudge” or “fruitfulness of- affliction.” But if the “p” is changed to “b” and the “h” is changed to “y” them Ebyraim could have an entirely different meaning.
Eby-raim means “grown at a-distance” which could also describe the truth that he was born far away from Joseph’s place of origin.
EXODUS
“And they took their journey from Succoth and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, not the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.” (Exodus 3: 20-22)
The bible tells us that the Israelites were oppressed in Egypt. Ultimately, the Lord will deliver them out of Egypt and lead them into the Promised Land. The journey of the oppressed Israelites will take about forty years and the Lord will be with them all along. And all these are documented in the book of Exodus.
Exodus or Exo-dus means “the journey of the- oppressed.” Exo pronounced as Egi’zo in Geez and Tigre means “Travelling” or “journey.”

Replacing the “j” with “y” and also replacing the “p” with “b” the name Joseph becomes Yoseby. Therefore Yo’seby or O’seby means “My reprimand” or “My reproach.” Even though Yoseby doesn’t sound the same as Joseph it has exactly the meaning Rachel intended it to be.

is what happened to Rachel. But his father called him Benjamin or Ben-yamin, which means “By them-he believes.” But if we are to pronounce the “ya” as “a’” then Ben-a’min means “By them- death” or “By him-death” which means the same thing as the first name.
