Berean Strong's Lexicon Elisheba: Elisheba Original Word: אֱלִישֶׁבַע Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and שֶׁבַע (sheba, meaning "oath" or "seven") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elisheba in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek name Elizabeth (Ἐλισάβετ, Strong's G1665) in the New Testament, the mother of John the Baptist, is derived from Elisheba. Usage: Elisheba means "God is an oath" or "God is abundance." It is a personal name used in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person who is consecrated or dedicated to God, reflecting a deep spiritual commitment or divine promise. Cultural and Historical Background: Elisheba is a significant figure in the Old Testament, known as the wife of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel, and the sister-in-law of Moses. Her name reflects the cultural importance of oaths and covenants in ancient Israelite society, where names often carried theological significance. As the wife of Aaron, Elisheba would have played a crucial role in the priestly family, supporting the religious and communal duties of her husband and sons.
