MessiYah

(Mashiach)--Literally, “anointed one,” usually a consecrated person (as a king or kohen). The English equivalent for Hebrew Mashiach is “Messiah.” Equivalent to Greek christos, which also means “anointed one.” The word Mashiach comes from the root word mashach (mah?shahkh). This word means to rub with oil, i.e., to anoint, by implication to consecrate. The children of Israel were also considered to be mashiach (anointed; 1Chr 16:20-22). Many of the objects used in Tabernacle and Temple worship were anointed. The tabernacle itself, the altar, the laver, and the garments of the priests are among those items mentioned. (Ex 40:9-13).

Torah

(Law, law)--  The Five Books of Moses, being the first of the three parts of the Tanakh. Usually translated “Law” since Greek uses the word nomos to render Hebrew Torah. (Simhath Torah, "the (Day of) Rejoicing in the Torah")

Yerusalem

Hebrew Yerushalaim or Yerushalayim, possibly meaning “Foundation/City of Peace”. The earlier name of the city was apparently Shalem (Genesis 14:18). Abraham had renamed the site at Moriah (Gen 22:2; 2Chr 3:1) as “YHWH Yireh” (Gen 22:14), when a substitute sacrifice for his son Isaac was provided, being caught in a thicket. In the conjunction of Yireh with Shalem the weak consonants disappeared to form Yerushalem. The name Yireh usually means “will see”, but is later suggested as “will provide”, when Abraham answered Isaac that “God will provide (Yireh) himself a lamb” (Gen 22:8). Thus the LORD of vision is the LORD of provision. The substitute sacrifice, with a thicket over his head, was to be the Messiah (Isa 53:10; Mt 27:29). Capital city of all Israel since the time of king David ca. 1000 BCE.

Yahudah

Hebrew Yehudah (Aramaic Yehuda; Greek Ioudas; Latin Iudas). In the Greek NT traditionally translated variously as Judah, Judas, and Jude.
