Strong's Lexicon Elishua: Elishua Original Word: אֱלִישׁוּעַ Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Eliyshuwa` Pronunciation: eh-lee-SHOO-ah Phonetic Spelling: (el-ee-shoo'-ah) Definition: Elishua Meaning: Elishua Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יְשׁוּעָה (yeshuah, meaning "salvation" or "deliverance"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elishua in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of salvation is captured in Greek by the word σωτηρία (soteria, Strong's Greek 4991), meaning "salvation." Usage: The name Elishua means "God is salvation" or "God is deliverance." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of God's saving power and deliverance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The name Elishua, incorporating the divine name "El" and the concept of salvation, would have been a testament to the parents' faith in God's deliverance. Names like Elishua were common in the royal and priestly lines, reflecting a deep-seated belief in God's active role in the lives of His people.
