Original Word:יוֹנָה
Part of Speech:Noun Feminine
Transliteration:yownah
Pronunciation:yo-NAH
Phonetic Spelling:(yo-naw')
Definition:Dove
Meaning:a dove

Word Origin:Derived from the root יָנָה (yanah), which means to oppress or vex, though the connection is more thematic than etymological.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G4058 περιστερά (peristera): Used in the New Testament to refer to a dove, particularly in the context of the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus (Matthew 3:16).

Usage:The Hebrew word "yonah" primarily refers to a dove, a bird often associated with peace, purity, and the Holy Spirit in biblical literature. It is used both literally, to describe the bird itself, and symbolically, to convey messages of peace, innocence, and divine presence.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Near Eastern cultures, doves were symbols of peace and were often used in sacrificial offerings. In the Bible, the dove is notably associated with the account of Noah, where it brings back an olive leaf to the ark, signaling the end of the flood (Genesis 8:11). Doves were also used in temple sacrifices, particularly for those who could not afford larger animals (Leviticus 5:7). The imagery of the dove is further enriched in the New Testament, where the Holy Spirit descends like a dove at Jesus' baptism (Matthew 3:16).
