◄ 478. Elishaphat ►
Strong's Lexicon Elishaphat: Elishaphat Original Word: אֱלִישָׁפָט Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Eliyshaphat Pronunciation: eh-lee-sha-fat Phonetic Spelling: (el-ee-shaw-fawt') Definition: Elishaphat Meaning: Elishaphat Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and שָׁפַט (shaphat, meaning "has judged" or "judges"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elishaphat in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God as judge is reflected in Greek terms like κριτής (kritēs, Strong's Greek 2923), meaning "judge." Usage: The name Elishaphat means "God has judged" or "God is judge." It reflects a recognition of God's sovereignty and justice. In the biblical context, names often carried significant meanings, reflecting the character or destiny of the individual or the faith of the parents. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often theophoric, incorporating the name of God (El) to signify divine attributes or actions. The name Elishaphat would have been a reminder of God's role as the ultimate judge, a central theme in the Hebrew Scriptures. This reflects the cultural emphasis on divine justice and the belief that God is actively involved in the affairs of humanity.
