Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G39 (Ἀγγαῖος, Aggaios): The Greek equivalent of Haggai, used in the Septuagint and New Testament references to the prophet.
Usage: The name Haggai means "festive" or "my feast." It is used as a proper noun to refer to the prophet Haggai, who is one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament. Haggai is known for his role in encouraging the Jewish people to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem after their return from Babylonian exile.
Cultural and Historical Background: Haggai prophesied during the post-exilic period, specifically around 520 BC, during the reign of Darius I of Persia. This was a time when the Jewish people had returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, but the temple lay in ruins. Haggai's messages were crucial in motivating the people to prioritize the reconstruction of the temple, which was central to their worship and identity as God's chosen people.
