Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and פָּעַל (paal, meaning "to act" or "to do").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Elpaal, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament genealogies.

Usage: The name Elpaal can be understood to mean "God has acted" or "God is doing." It is used as a personal name in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or experiences. The name Elpaal, with its reference to divine action, may suggest a recognition of God's active role in the life of the individual or family. The tribe of Benjamin, to which Elpaal belonged, was one of the twelve tribes of Israel and held a significant place in Israel's history, being the tribe of King Saul and later the Apostle Paul.
