Work-of-Yah
| Root | עשה (ʿ-ś-h) |
| Core Meanings | doing, making, working, acting, deed, accomplishment |
| Semantic Range | As a proper name, it denotes "work/deed of Yah" or possibly "Yah is work," functioning as a personal name borne by multiple Israelite men in the Hebrew Bible. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name expresses a theology of divine action, affirming that deeds, accomplishments, or works are attributed to Yah. Such theophoric names reflect Israel’s conviction that human life and achievement are bound to the active work of their covenant God. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Compound theophoric name formed from מַעֲשֶׂה ("work, deed") + יָהּ ("Yah"). Variants may include the fuller theophoric ending -יָהוּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines מַעֲשֶׂה ("work, deed," from the root עשה, "to do, make") with יָהּ ("Yah," a shortened form of the divine name). Rendering it as "Work-of-Yah" preserves the concrete sense of action or deed inherent in the root and reflects its function as a singular masculine proper name. |
