Strong's Lexicon Elishah: Elishah Original Word: אֱלִישָׁה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יָשַׁע (yasha, meaning "to save" or "to deliver") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elishah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Ελισά (Elisa). Usage: Elishah is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person or people group. The name Elishah is often interpreted to mean "God is salvation" or "God saves." It is primarily used to denote a descendant of Javan, who was a son of Japheth, one of Noah's sons. Cultural and Historical Background: Elishah is mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, which outlines the descendants of Noah's sons and the nations that emerged from them after the flood. Elishah is traditionally associated with the ancient maritime people and regions in the Mediterranean, possibly linked to the Aeolians or other groups in the Aegean Sea area. This connection suggests a historical context of trade and cultural exchange between the Israelites and these maritime peoples.
