However, the themes of captivity and return are echoed in Greek terms related to redemption and restoration, such as λύτρωσις (lytrōsis, G3085) meaning "redemption."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name Shebai is used in the context of a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with individuals who are part of the genealogies or lists of people, often in the context of the post-exilic community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the post-exilic period, names like Shebai were common among the Israelites who returned from Babylonian captivity. These names often carried meanings that reflected the experiences or hopes of the people, such as themes of restoration, return, or divine intervention. The use of such names highlights the importance of identity and heritage among the returning exiles as they sought to re-establish their community and religious practices in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7614.htm">Sheba</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>desc. of Sheba<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sabeans (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שְׁבָאִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective, of a people</b></font> only plural as substantive, <font class="hebrew2">לִשְׁבָאִים</font> (Baer Ginsb <font class="hebrew2">שְׁבָא֯יִם</font>) Joel 4:8 ("" <font class="hebrew2">אֶלאגּוֺי רָחוֺק</font>, compare <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/6-20.htm">Jeremiah 6:20</a> above), > <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Me Now <font class="hebrew2">לַשְּׁבִי</font> <em>into captivity.</em> <p>I. <font class="hebrew2">שׁבב</font> (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">שָׁבַב</font> Pi`el <em>hew</em>;
