Strong's Lexicon Elon Beth Chanan: Elon Beth Hanan Original Word: אֵילוֹן בֵּית חָנָן Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵילוֹן (Elon), meaning "oak" or "terebinth," and בֵּית חָנָן (Beth Chanan), meaning "house of grace" or "house of favor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Elon Beth Chanan, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, Greek terms related to "oak" (δρῦς, drys) and "grace" (χάρις, charis) may be conceptually linked. Usage: Elon Beth Chanan is a place name mentioned in the Bible. The name can be understood as "Oak of the House of Grace" or "Oak of the House of Favor," indicating a location that may have been known for its oak trees and possibly a place of refuge or blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, oaks and terebinths were often significant landmarks and sometimes associated with sacred sites or places of judgment. The combination of "Elon" (oak) with "Beth Chanan" (house of grace) suggests a location that was both physically notable and possibly spiritually significant. The use of "house" in place names often indicates a settlement or a place of gathering.
