Berean Strong's Lexicon Mikah: Micah Original Word: מִיכָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מִיכָיָה (Mikayah), meaning "Who is like Yah?" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Micah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the Greek transliteration of the prophet's name in the Septuagint is Μιχαίας (Michaías). Usage: The name "Micah" is a rhetorical question meaning "Who is like Yahweh?" It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of the uniqueness and incomparability of God. The name reflects a deep theological assertion of God's supremacy and singularity. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Micah is most notably associated with the prophet Micah, one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament. Micah prophesied during the 8th century BCE, a time of social injustice and idolatry in Israel and Judah. His messages focused on the themes of judgment and restoration, emphasizing the need for justice, mercy, and humility before God. The cultural context of Micah's time was marked by political turmoil and moral decline, which he addressed with a call to return to covenant faithfulness.
