Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Jozabad in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of divine endowment or bestowal can be related to Greek terms like χάρις (charis, Strong's Greek 5485), meaning "grace" or "favor," which reflects the idea of a gift or endowment from God.
