◄ 465. Eliphal ►
Strong's Lexicon Eliphal: Eliphal Original Word: אֱלִיפָל Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Eliyphal Pronunciation: eh-lee-fahl Phonetic Spelling: (el-ee-fawl') Definition: Eliphal Meaning: Eliphal Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots אֵל (El, meaning "God") and פָּלַל (palal, meaning "to judge" or "to intercede"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Eliphal, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of God as judge can be related to Greek terms like κριτής (kritēs, meaning "judge") found in the New Testament. Usage: The name Eliphal can be understood to mean "God is judge" or "God intercedes." It is a proper noun used to identify a specific individual in the Bible, specifically one of David's mighty warriors. 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 Eliphal, with its components referring to God and judgment or intercession, suggests a recognition of God's sovereignty and justice. During the time of King David, having a name that acknowledged God's role as judge would have been particularly meaningful, as David's reign was marked by a strong emphasis on justice and righteousness.
