Strong's Lexicon Shelani: Shelani Original Word: שֵׁלָנִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁלַח (shalach), meaning "to send" or "to stretch out." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the concept of sending or dispatching is ἀποστέλλω (apostellō), Strong's Greek #649, which is used in the New Testament to describe the sending of apostles and messengers. Usage: The term "Shelani" is used as a proper noun, likely referring to a person or a group associated with a particular lineage or location. The name may imply a sense of being "sent" or "dispatched," reflecting the root meaning of the word. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's role, heritage, or divine purpose. The root שָׁלַח (shalach) is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of sending, whether it be sending a message, dispatching a person, or extending one's hand. This reflects a culture deeply connected to the meanings and implications of names. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom Shelah Definition desc. of Shelah NASB Translation Shelanites (1).
