Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and קָנָה (qanah, meaning "to acquire" or "to possess").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Elkanah in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and context.

Usage: Elkanah is a proper noun used as a masculine name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of several individuals, most notably the father of the prophet Samuel. Context: Elkanah is a significant biblical figure, primarily recognized as the father of Samuel, the last judge of Israel and a prophet. Elkanah was an Ephraimite from the hill country of Ephraim, specifically from Ramathaim-zophim. He is described as a devout man who made annual pilgrimages to Shiloh to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts. Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah was initially barren. Despite this, Elkanah showed great love and favor towards Hannah, giving her a double portion of the sacrificial offerings. His story is primarily recounted in 1 Samuel 1-2, where his faithfulness and family dynamics are highlighted. Elkanah's lineage is traced back to the Levites, indicating his priestly heritage, which is significant in understanding the religious context of his life and his son's future role as a prophet.
