Strong's Lexicon Elteqon: Elteqon Original Word: אֶלְתֵּקֹן Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and תָּקַן (taqan, meaning "to establish" or "to make straight"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elteqon, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of God establishing or making straight can be related to Greek words like κατευθύνω (kateuthynō, Strong's G2720), meaning "to make straight" or "to direct." Usage: Elteqon is a place name mentioned in the Bible, signifying "God is established" or "God establishes." It is a town located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. Cultural and Historical Background: Elteqon is one of the towns listed in the inheritance of the tribe of Judah. The allocation of land to the tribes of Israel was a significant event, as it represented the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land of Canaan. The towns and cities within each tribal territory were important for establishing the identity and heritage of the tribes.
