However, the concept of leadership or chiefdom can be related to Greek terms like ἄρχων (archon), meaning "ruler" or "leader." Usage: In the Bible, "Alvah" is used as a proper noun, specifically as a name. It is the name of a chief or duke of Edom, mentioned in the genealogies of Esau's descendants. The name may imply a sense of elevation or prominence, consistent with its root meaning. Cultural and Historical Background: The Edomites were descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob, and they inhabited the region south of the Dead Sea. The chiefs or dukes of Edom were leaders of clans or tribes, and their genealogies are recorded in the Bible to show the fulfillment of God's promise to Esau that he would become a great nation. The mention of Alvah as a chief highlights the structured leadership and societal organization within Edom. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin the same as avlah, q.v.
