Tikvah; personal name meaning 'hope,' borne by two post-exilic men
A personal name appearing twice: as the father-in-law of the prophetess Huldah (2 Kings 22:14), and as a post-exilic figure in Ezra 10:15. The name means 'hope,' a fitting choice in difficult times. The Septuagint renders it with varying Greek spellings (Thekouau, Thekkoue), while the parallel passage in 2 Chronicles 34:22 has the variant form Tokhath (Ketiv) or Toqhath (Qere). Such name variations were common in textual transmission, but the identification remains clear from context.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — As a proper name, Tikvah appears in two distinct periods: the late monarchy (Huldah's father-in-law during Josiah's reform) and the post-exilic era (opposing Ezra's marriage reforms, according to one interpretation). The name's meaning—'hope'—may have been especially popular during times of uncertainty, expressing parental aspirations for their sons. The textual variants and Septuagint renderings show normal scribal variation in proper names across centuries of transmission, but modern translations consistently transliterate it as Tikvah or Tiqvah. 2×
