H3020 noun
SILEX Entry
Definition
Personal name: Yoglîy. Appears as a patronymic (father of Bukki) in Numbers 34:22, likely meaning 'the exiled one' or 'he will be carried away/exiled.' The primary lexical meaning derives from the Hebrew root for 'to go into exile' or 'to be exiled.' As the name of an Israelite, it likely denotes someone associated with exile, possibly commemorating an ancestral or personal experience of displacement.
Semantic Range
proper personal name; 'the exiled one'; associated with displacement, carrying away, exile, uncovering
Root / Etymology
From the root גלה (galah), meaning 'to uncover, remove, reveal, be exiled.' The form Yoglîy incorporates the yod prefix (third person masculine singular imperfect, 'he will exile/remove'), with a formative yod suffix. The etymology thus suggests the meaning 'he will be exiled' or 'the exiled one.'
Historical & Contextual Notes
Yoglîy is only attested as a personal name in Numbers 34:22 as the father of Bukki, representing the tribe of Dan in the assignment of land under Moses. The name reflects a common practice in ancient Israelite onomastics of personal names marking experiences or aspirations (theophoric, circumstantial, or commemorative meanings). The underlying root גלה most frequently appears in reference to exile, particularly during and after the events of the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities, but the name Yoglîy predates these events and may refer to earlier experiences of displacement or simply bore the generic meaning of 'removal' or 'uncovering.' English translations sometimes render the name as 'Jogli,' but the Israelite context and the meaning 'the exiled one' are lost in these transliterations. The term is distinct from more general nouns for exile (e.g., גולה, 'golah'), as it is strictly a proper name.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
from גָּלָה; exiled; Jogli, an Israelite; Jogli.
