Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elishama in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God hearing is reflected in Greek through words like ἀκούω (akouo, Strong's G191), meaning "to hear." Usage: The name Elishama means "God has heard." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, signifying a recognition of God's attentiveness and responsiveness to human prayers and needs. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect personal experiences, divine attributes, or prophetic insights. The name Elishama, indicating that "God has heard," would have been a testament to the faith of the parents in God's active involvement in their lives. It reflects a common theme in Hebrew naming practices where the character and actions of God are acknowledged.
