Joseph ジョセフ

意味:この名前は、へブル語で「彼は加える」という意味のיוֹסֵף (Yosef) ヨセフという名前からきています。聖書の中には何人かヨセフが出てきます。旧約聖書では、ヤコブとラケルに11番目の息子が生まれると、ラケルは 、息子をヨセフと名付けて言いました。「主がわたしにもう一人男の子を加えてくださいますように。」ヨセフは、父ヤコブの溺愛をねたんだ兄たちからエジプトに送られた何年も後に、エジプトの王ファラオの宮廷責任者にまでなりました。 新約聖書では、この名前を持つ人は、イエスの父、また、他にアリマタヤのヨセフがいますが、このアリマタヤ出身のヨセフは富豪で、秘密裡にイエスの弟子となり、自分の新しい墓を差し出して、イエスの遺体を埋葬しました。
