The girl's name Jessica \j(e)-ssi-ca\ is pronounced JESS-a-kah. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "He sees".

Jessica is a female given name, originally found as the name of a character in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. One theory of how Shakespeare created the name is that he altered Jesca, the form of the name of a daughter of Haran briefly mentioned in the book of Genesis. Though Jesca was the form of the name used in English language Bibles available to Shakespeare, the King James Version of the Bible and subsequent translations refer to this person as Iscah. [1] Jesca or Iscah is derived from the Hebrew Yiskah (יִסְכָּה), meaning "foresight" (being able to see the potential in the future).

The Hebrew root sakhah (ס.כ.ה) means "to see", so the name Yiskah, with the added yud, implies foresight or clairvoyance. There is midrash by Rashi suggesting that Yiskah is also a name for Sarah, so the meaning of this name makes sense for two reasons: people would gaze at her beauty, and she was known to be a prophetess.

Hebrew identify of J'esus is Y.ehoshoua/Y.ehoshua. In the Talmud they nicknamed Him Y.eshu. The Jews do not know for certain the truly pronunciation of G-d's identify: [Edit: V is extra proper than W, sorry for typo] Y.H.V.H. as it is written with out nekoudot (vocalisation). If you learn the Old Testament in Hebrew it is written with out a punctuation, capitalisation (it does not exist in Hebrew). It has been reported in view that the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Today, Jews use A.donay rather of announcing His identify and risking creating a fault. They additionally say a prayer in case if they are saying it wrongly (Baru'h chem kevod mal'huto leolam vaed= Blessed the Name in the entire kingdoms/all over the place). I feel it is Y.ehoshoua. It's closed to the identify Joshua. Yoshua in Hebrew. So it is tough to even understand or be certain how J'esus identify in Hebrew used to be mentioned in these days. Beside He used to be talking in Aramaic and I do not know that language as it is the language of the Talmud and it is a lifeless language now. And incidentally, hinder writing the Sacred identify with out aspects within as you're to not erase His identify as that could be taking the identify of the L'ord in useless! And it is offensive to Jewish men and women. [Edit: How is J'esus identify written in Ancient Greek?And wherein can I uncover a internet site approximately it, have you learnt?]
