Zevadeyah
and Zebadiah
Zebadyah is a masculine personal name meaning 'Yahweh has given' or 'Yahweh is gift.' The form appears as a theophoric name, incorporating the divine element 'Yah' (a shortened form of the Tetragrammaton). In the Hebrew Bible, Zebadyah refers to several distinct individuals, chiefly Israelites associated with various tribal and social contexts, primarily in monarchic and early post-exilic periods. The name is constructed from the verb 'to give' and the shortened divine name, indicating one given by or gifted from Yahweh. In narrative, genealogical, and administrative texts, it identifies multiple persons of some local or minor prominence.
