جبر جبل 280 و young man. جبريل is a compound word made up of جبر which in Hebrew means a man or a mighty man or a hero means God. This word ايل occurs in several combinations as in جِبْرِيلُ and مِيْكَالُ or مِيْكَائِيلُ and إِسْمَاعِيلُ . In Arabic جَبْرٌ the word means mending a broken thing; giving a poor man so liberally as to make him well of; a brave man جَبَرَ also signifies " a servant". إِيْلُ ,in addition to the above mentioned derivation, may have been derived from the word الله )God) or from the root آلُ, the active participle from which is آئِلٌ meaning Controller or Ruler.
