Strong's Lexicon eleph: Thousand Original Word: אֶלֶף Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to associate or to learn Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5505 (chilias): A thousand - G5507 (chilioi): Thousand Usage: The Hebrew word "eleph" primarily denotes the number "thousand." It is used in the Old Testament to quantify large numbers, whether referring to people, livestock, or other items. The term can also imply a large, indefinite number, emphasizing abundance or multitude. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, numbers held significant cultural and symbolic meaning. The use of "eleph" to denote a thousand reflects the agrarian and tribal context of the Israelites, where counting large groups of people or livestock was common. The term also appears in military contexts, often describing the size of an army or a division within it. The concept of "thousand" could also symbolize completeness or a large, impressive quantity, reflecting the grandeur of God's blessings or the vastness of His creation.
