Meanings of the Names of People and Places in the Old Testament

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
This book contains not only a look at the meanings of people and places of the Old Testament but also a brief look at who the people were in that they really did live. In most cases showing they had family, and were a son or a daughter, a brother or sister, the father or mother of a person. The book also tells where the places were and even in the meanings of their names, there is great significance. For every person and place written in the Bible, there is a specific reason, whether for the meaning of the name of a person as in the name Adam (man, red earth) or in the name of a place, as in Bethel (house of God). It will be very enlightening and edifying to see and understand their significance as this book is used as a study help.
The reader will also see, while using this reference book, that the contents of this book make looking at the meaning of the names easier. And one will see more clearly that the mystery of God and his plan for his people can be found in the names of the children of Israel, Christ in you the (only) hope of glory.
This is just one of the many treasures that is found while looking at the names of the priests and kings of Israel and Judah.
Whether a scholar or a layman, there are many treasures to be found in studying the scriptures, and I believe this reference book will be a blessing to anyone as an aid in searching out the hidden gems of the Word of God.
The Lord bless you!
