Berean Strong's Lexicon Elamités: Elamites Original Word: Ἐλαμίται Word Origin: Derived from Ἐλάμ (Elam), referring to the ancient region of Elam. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Hebrew entry is Strong's H5867, עֵילָם (Elam), which refers to the same region and its people in the Old Testament. Usage: The term "Elamites" refers to the inhabitants of Elam, an ancient civilization located in what is now southwestern Iran. In the New Testament, the term is used to describe a group of people present in Jerusalem during the events of Pentecost. Cultural and Historical Background: Elam was an ancient kingdom situated to the east of Mesopotamia, known for its rich history and interactions with neighboring civilizations such as the Sumerians, Akkadians, and Persians. The Elamites were known for their distinct language and culture. By the time of the New Testament, Elam had been absorbed into the Persian Empire, but its people retained a distinct identity. The presence of Elamites in Jerusalem during Pentecost highlights the widespread dispersion of Jews and proselytes throughout the ancient world.
