However, the concept of leadership and valor can be related to Greek terms like ἄρχων (archon, meaning "ruler" or "leader") and ἀνδρεία (andreia, meaning "courage" or "valor").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name "Gabbai" is used in the Bible as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name. It is associated with an individual who is part of the post-exilic community in Jerusalem. The name itself suggests a sense of elevation or prominence, possibly indicating a person of stature or importance within the community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the post-exilic period, following the return from Babylonian captivity, the Jewish community in Jerusalem was in the process of rebuilding and re-establishing their society. Names like Gabbai reflect the cultural emphasis on leadership and the restoration of religious and social order. The name may have been indicative of a role or position within the community, possibly related to governance or religious duties.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גַּבַּי סַלָּ֑י</font> apparently <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (compare Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb014620.gif">, Talmud <font class="hebrew2">גַּבָּי</font>, <em>tax-gatherer</em>) a Benjamite <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/11-8.htm">Nehemiah 11:8</a>; but text dubious compare <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/9-8.htm">1 Chronicles 9:8</a> & Sm<sup>Listen 7</sup>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Gabbai <p>From the same as <a href="/hebrew/1354.htm">gab</a>; collective -- Gabbai, an Israelite -- Gabbai. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1354.htm">gab</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>גַּבַּ֣י גבי gab·bay gabBai gabbay<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/nehemiah/11-8.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Nehemiah 11:8</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/11.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> וְאַחֲרָ֖יו <b> גַּבַּ֣י </b> סַלָּ֑י תְּשַׁ֥ע</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/nehemiah/11.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and after <span class="itali">him Gabbai</span> [and] Sallai, 928<br><a href="/kjvs/nehemiah/11.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> And after <span class="itali">him Gabbai,</span> Sallai, nine<br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/11-8.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and after <span class="itali">Gabbai</span> Sallai nine<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1373.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1373.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1373<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/gabbai_1373.htm">gab·bay — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1372.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1372"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1372" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1373a.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1373a"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1373a" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
