Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jizzijah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of names meaning "God will shine" or "God's light" can be related to Greek words that convey divine illumination or revelation.

Usage: Jizzijah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Jizzijah is mentioned in the context of the post-exilic period, specifically in the genealogical records of the Israelites who returned from Babylonian captivity. The name appears in the list of the sons of Harim, one of the priestly families, in the book of Ezra. This indicates that Jizzijah was part of the group of priests who were required to put away their foreign wives to maintain the purity of the priesthood, as recorded in Ezra 10:25. The mention of Jizzijah highlights the importance of maintaining religious and cultural identity during the restoration of the Jewish community in Jerusalem.
