YEHONATHAN (יְהוֹנָתָן). Hebrew
biblical Jonathan
(q.v.), meaning "gift of Jehovah" or "(whom) Jehovah has
given."
4. The name "Yehoshua
(Joshua)" is well attested as borne by the leader of Israel in the
conquest of Canaan, but this name is compounded with "Yahweh,"
and therefore proves that this deity was known to the Hebrews at least
as early as the time of the exodus. If the name of Moses' mother,
"Jochebed," be authentic and be compounded with
"Yahweh," this will be another evidence in the same
direction. Judges 18:30 mentions Yehonathan (Jonathan) the
grandson of Moses. This is certainly a
"Yahweh"-compound, and it seems as though it must have been
given before the conquest, or at least so soon after that Canaanitish
influence is unthinkable... (The Biblical World, v.28, 1906)
