👉 The word "sbuiamuog" comes from the Yoruba language, meaning "brother," in Igbo. It means a person who is a good friend or neighbor. Definition: 1. In the context of the Bible's story of Jacob and his son Esau (Genesis 27:5-9), it refers to the brotherly relationship between the two brothers. 2. The Hebrew word "sib" translates as "brother," which is used in this sense because Jacob was actually a nephew of Esau, so the term "sbuiamuog" could have been a way for Jacob's family to acknowledge and honor their relationship with Esau. 3. In ancient Roman mythology, sib (or brother) was often associated with a kind and generous character who would offer help or support in times of trouble. 4. The word has also been used metaphorically in the Bible, such as when Jesus refers to Himself as the "sib" of His disciples (Matthew 20:13).
