Strong's Lexicon Elasah: Elasah Original Word: אֶלְעָשָׂה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and עָשָׂה (asah, meaning "to make" or "to do") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Jeremiah 29:3 (BSB): "He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon." In this context, Elasah is a trusted envoy, highlighting his role in the communication between the exiled community and the leadership in Jerusalem. - Nehemiah 12:42 (BSB): "And Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loudly under the direction of Jezrahiah." While Elasah is not directly mentioned here, the context of the return from exile and the rebuilding of Jerusalem provides a backdrop for understanding the roles of individuals like Elasah in the restoration of the community. 10.
