Yishi, a personal name meaning 'salutary' or 'saving,' borne by four men in Chronicles
Yishi (meaning 'he saves' or 'salutary') is a Hebrew proper name shared by four individuals in the Chronicler's genealogies. These include a descendant of Jerahmeel (1 Chr 2:31), a chief of Judah (1 Chr 4:20), a leader of Simeon who led an expedition against the Amalekites at Mount Seir (1 Chr 4:42), and a chief of the half-tribe of Manasseh (1 Chr 5:24). The name's root in salvation (yasha) reflects a theophoric hope characteristic of Israelite naming practices.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper masculine name derived from the root yasha ('to save'), borne by four distinct individuals in 1 Chronicles. English renders it 'Yishi' or 'Ishi,' while Spanish gives 'Yisi.' The Septuagint varies widely across manuscripts (Ισεμιηλ, Ιεσει, Σεει), indicating early textual fluidity. All five occurrences appear in tribal genealogies of Jerahmeel, Judah, Simeon, and Manasseh. 5×
