Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָשַׁע (yasha), meaning "to save" or "to deliver."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Hoshajah, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of salvation, which is central to the meaning of Hoshajah, is often represented in Greek by the word σωτηρία (soteria), Strong's Greek Number 4991, meaning "salvation" or "deliverance."

Usage: Hoshajah is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Hoshajah is a biblical figure mentioned in the context of the post-exilic period. He is identified as one of the leaders among the Levites who participated in the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah. This event is significant as it marks the restoration and renewal of the Jewish community in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Hoshajah's role in this ceremony underscores the importance of the Levites in the religious and communal life of Israel, particularly in leading worship and ensuring the observance of the Law. The mention of Hoshajah in the book of Nehemiah highlights the collaborative effort among the leaders of Israel to reestablish their identity and faith practices in the restored city.
