Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


ARIEL.—1. One of Ezra’s chief men (Ezr_8:16). 2. The name of a Moabite (according to RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2Sa_23:20, 1Ch_11:22) whose two sons were slain by Benaiah. 3. A name of uncertain meaning, perhaps = ‘God’s altar-hearth,’ given to Jerusalem by Isaiah (Isa_29:1 ff.). It has recently been proposed to read Uri-el (‘city of God’) as a paronomasia or play of words on Uru-salim, the earliest recorded form of the name ‘Jerusalem.’

("lion of God".)
1. A brave "chief," who directed under Ezra (Ezr_8:16) the caravan from Babylon to Jerusalem. ARELI is akin (Num_26:17). In 2Sa_23:20 Winer translates for "two like-like men" two (sons) of Ariel; but Gesenius supports the KJV.
2. A symbolic name for Jerusalem (Isa_29:1-2), the lion of God, rendered by God invincible. For "the lion of the tribe of Judah" is on her side (Rev_5:5). "It shall be unto Me as Ariel"; it shall emerge from its dangers invincible, Sennacherib's invasion shall recoil on himself. In Eze_43:15 "the altar"; the secret of Israel's lion-like strength, her having God at peace with her through the atoning sacrifice there. Menochius guesses that the lieu (aril) was carved on it; but as the word in Hebrew of Eze_43:15 (arieil) is somewhat different from that in Isaiah, perhaps in Ezekiel it menus, from an Arabic root, "the hearth of God." Ganneau has deciphered on the Moabite stone that the Ariel of David is mentioned as taken by Mesha, the Moabite king, at Ataroth, and dragged before the face of Chemosh at Kerioth. The Ariel here must mean a lion carved altar of God.

A'riel. (lion of God).
1. One of the "chief men" who, under Ezra, directed the caravan which he led back from Babylon to Jerusalem. Ezr_8:16. (B.C. 459). The word occurs also in reference to two Moabites slain by Benaiah. 2Sa_23:20; 1Ch_11:22.
Many regard the word as an epithet, "lion-like"; but it seems better to look upon it as a proper name, and translate "two sons of Ariel."
2. A designation, given by Isaiah, to the city of Jerusalem. Isa_29:1-2; Isa_29:7. We must understand by it either "lion of God", as the chief city, or "hearth of God", a synonym for the Altar of Burnt Offering.
On the whole, it seems most probable that, as a name given to Jerusalem, Ariel means "lion of God", whilst the word used by Ezekiel, Eze_43:15-16 means "hearth of God".

ā?ri-el (אריאל, 'ărı̄y'ēl or אראל, 'ărı̄'ēl, ?lioness of God?): But the word occurs in Eze_43:15, Eze_43:16, and is there translated in the Revised Version (British and American) ?ALTAR HEARTH.?
(1) According to the Revised Version (British and American) a man of Moab whose two sons were slain by David's warrior Benaiah the son of Jehoiada (2Sa_23:20; 1Ch_11:22). Here the King James Version translates ?two lionlike men of Moab.?
(2) A name applied to Jerusalem (Isa_29:1, Isa_29:2, Isa_29:7). The many explanations of the name are interesting, but mainly conjectural.
(3) One of the members of the delegation sent by Ezra to the place Casiphia, to secure temple ministers for his expedition to Jerusalem (Ezr_8:16).

Ariel, 1
A?riel, a word meaning 'lion of God,' and correctly enough rendered by 'lion-like,' in 2Sa_23:20; 1Ch_11:22. It was applied as an epithet of distinction to bold and warlike persons, as among the Arabians, who surnamed Ali 'The Lion of God.'
Ariel, 2
The same word is used as a local proper name in Isa_29:1-2, applied to Jerusalem?'as victorious under God'?says Dr. Lee; and in Eze_43:15-16, to the altar of burnt-offerings.

Ariel
(Heb. Ariel', אֲרִיאֵל, Sept. Α᾿ριήλ), a word meaning "lion of God," and correctly enough rendered by “lion-like” in 2Sa_23:20; 1Ch_11:22. It was applied as an epithet of distinction to bold and warlike persons, as among the Arabians, who surnamed Ali "The' Lion of God" (Abulf. Ann. 1, 96; Bochart, Hieroz. 1, 716). Others, as Thenius, Winer, Furst, look upon it in these passages as a proper name, and translate “two [sons] of Ariel,” supplying the word בְּנֵי, which might easily have fallen out. SEE ARELI.
1. One of the chief men sent for by Ezra to procure Levites for' the services of the sanctuary (Ezr_8:16). B.C. 459.
2. The same word is used as a local proper name in Isa_29:1-2; Isa_29:7, applied to Jerusalem, “as victorious under God,” says Dr. Lee; and in Eze_43:15-16, to the altar of burnt-offerings. SEE HAREL.
In this latter passage Gesenius (Thes. Heb. p. 147) and others, unsatisfied with the Hebrew, resort to the Arabic, and find the first part of the name in Ar-i, fire-hearth (cognate with Heb. אוֹר, light, i.e. fire), which, with the Heb. El, God, supplies what they consider a more satisfactory signification (but see Havernick, Comment. in loc.). It is thus applied, in the first place, to the altar, and then to Jerusalem as containing the altar. Henderson gives the word this etymology also in the passage in Isaiah (see Comment. in loc.).
