Strong's Lexicon Eldaah: Eldaah Original Word: אֶלְדָּעָה Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and דָּעָה (da'ah, meaning "knowledge" or "to know"). Thus, Eldaah can be understood as "God has known" or "God of knowledge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eldaah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Eldaah is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to one of the sons of Midian, who was a son of Abraham through his wife Keturah. The name signifies a recognition of God's omniscience and the divine attribute of knowledge. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the patriarchal narratives, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of divine attributes or personal characteristics. Eldaah, as a descendant of Abraham, is part of the broader narrative of God's promise to Abraham to make him a father of many nations. The Midianites, descendants of Midian, played various roles in the biblical narrative, sometimes as allies and other times as adversaries to the Israelites.
