Strong's Lexicon eleph: Thousand Original Word: אֶלֶף Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to associate or be familiar with. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5505 (chilias): A thousand, used in the New Testament to denote large numbers, similar to "eleph" in the Old Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "eleph" primarily denotes the number "thousand." It is used in the Old Testament to quantify large groups, whether of people, animals, or other items. The term can also imply a military unit or clan, suggesting a collective or organized group. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, numbers were often used symbolically as well as literally. The term "eleph" could represent a literal count of a thousand, but it might also signify a large, unspecified number or a significant military unit. In the context of tribal and familial structures, "eleph" could denote a clan or a group of families, reflecting the communal and collective nature of ancient Near Eastern societies.
