and El-Lives
| Root | חיה + אל (ḥ-y-h + ʾ-l) |
| Core Meanings | to live, to have life, vitality; God, mighty one, divine power |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning "El lives," "God lives," or "May God live"; borne by multiple Israelite men in the Hebrew Bible. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a theophoric name, it affirms the living reality and vitality of Israel’s God, contrasting Him with lifeless idols and expressing covenantal trust in the enduring life and power of אֵל. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (personal name) with prefixed conjunction וְ/וִ ("and"). The form is a theophoric compound: verbal element from חיה + the divine name אֵל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יְחִיאֵל combines the root חיה ("to live") with אֵל ("God"), forming a theophoric declaration meaning "El lives" or "God lives." The prefixed וִ is the conjunction "and," and the morphology (HC/Np) identifies it as a masculine singular proper noun, preserved here as the name-like rendering "El-Lives." |
