Definition

Semantic Range
proper name (Yᵉchubbâh), 'she is hidden', used only as a personal name of an Israelite woman; no common noun or verbal use in the Hebrew Bible
Root / Etymology
From the root חבה (ḥ-b-h), meaning 'to hide' or 'to cover'. יְחֻבָּה is a feminine form, possibly a rare proper name formation, indicating 'she is hidden' or 'concealed.'
Historical & Contextual Notes
יְחֻבָּה appears in 1 Chronicles 7:24 as the name of a woman, a descendant in the tribe of Ephraim. It is not a general term, but strictly a proper name in the biblical text. The meaning of the name derives from the root חבה, but there are no surviving traditions or further uses of the word outside this genealogical context. English Bibles have sometimes rendered the name as Jechubbah or Jehubbah, but the Hebrew meaning ('she is hidden') is preserved only in the original. The use of such a name may reflect a personal or situational description, but this is not further explained in the text.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
from חָבָה; hidden; Jechubbah, an Israelite; Jehubbah.
