Strong's Lexicon

Elyashib: Elyashib

Original Word: אֶלְיָשִׁיב
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Elyashib
Pronunciation: el-yaw-SHEEB
Phonetic Spelling: (el-yaw-sheeb')
Definition: Elyashib
Meaning: Eljashib

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יָשַׁב (yashab, meaning "to restore" or "to return")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elyashib in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of restoration is echoed in Greek terms like ἀποκατάστασις (apokatastasis, Strong's G605), meaning "restoration."

Usage: The name Elyashib means "God restores" or "God will restore." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a divine promise or hope of restoration.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the individual's role or destiny. The name Elyashib, with its connotation of divine restoration, would have been particularly meaningful in contexts of exile, return, and rebuilding, which are prominent themes in the post-exilic period of Israel's history.
