Information

Jobab

Jobab is a name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the genealogies of Genesis and 1 Chronicles. The name appears in two distinct contexts: first, as the name of a king of Madon (Genesis 10:28) and second, as the name of a descendant of Jacob through the tribe of Judah (1 Chronicles 4:10). The etymology of the name is uncertain, but it may be derived from the Hebrew root yabab, meaning "to flow" or "to pour out," which could be translated to Hebrew as יָבָב. In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the name is rendered as Ιωβάβ (Iōbáb). The name Jobab is also found in other ancient texts, such as the Babylonian King List, where it appears as Ibni-Ibīna, indicating a possible cultural or linguistic connection. The contextual significance of Jobab varies depending on the specific biblical reference, but it generally serves as a genealogical marker or a historical note within the broader narrative of the Hebrew Bible.
