◄ 473. Elishah ►
Strong's Lexicon Elishah: Elishah Original Word: אֱלִישָׁה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Eliyshah Pronunciation: eh-lee-SHAH Phonetic Spelling: (el-ee-shaw') Definition: Elishah Meaning: "God is salvation" or "God saves." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יֵשַׁע (yesha, meaning "salvation" or "saves"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Elishah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of "salvation" related to the name can be linked to Greek words such as σωτηρία (soteria, meaning "salvation") and σωτήρ (soter, meaning "savior"), which are used in the New Testament to describe the saving work of God through Jesus Christ. Usage: Elishah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a name. Context: Elishah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Noah. He is identified as the son of Javan, who was a son of Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. Elishah is traditionally associated with the region or people known as the "Elishah," which some scholars suggest may refer to a group or territory in the Mediterranean, possibly linked to the ancient Greeks or the region of Cyprus. The mention of Elishah in the Bible is found in Genesis 10:4, which is part of the Table of Nations, a passage that outlines the descendants of Noah's sons and their spread across the earth after the flood. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates Genesis 10:4 as follows: "The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites." This passage highlights Elishah as part of the lineage that contributed to the spread of various peoples and cultures in the ancient world.
