Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, corresponding to the Hebrew name אֱלִישֶׁבַע (Elisheba).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Hebrew entry is Strong's Hebrew 472, אֱלִישֶׁבַע (Elisheba), which carries the same meaning and is the name of Aaron's wife in the Old Testament.

Usage: The name Ἐλισάβετ is used in the New Testament to refer to the wife of Zechariah and the mother of John the Baptist.

Context: Ἐλισάβετ, known in English as Elizabeth, is a significant figure in the New Testament. She is introduced in the Gospel of Luke as a righteous woman, living blamelessly according to the commandments and regulations of the Lord (Luke 1:6, BSB). Elizabeth is described as being of the daughters of Aaron, indicating her priestly lineage. Despite her advanced age and initial barrenness, Elizabeth becomes the mother of John the Baptist, a pivotal figure who prepares the way for Jesus Christ.

The narrative of Elizabeth highlights themes of faith, divine intervention, and fulfillment of God's promises. Her story is intertwined with that of Mary, the mother of Jesus. When Mary visits Elizabeth, the baby in Elizabeth's womb leaps for joy, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, acknowledges Mary as the mother of her Lord (Luke 1:41-43, BSB). This encounter underscores the recognition of Jesus' messianic role even before His birth.

Elizabeth's faith and her role in the divine plan exemplify the fulfillment of God's promises and the importance of trust in His timing. Her story is a testament to God's power to bring life and purpose out of barrenness and to use ordinary people for extraordinary purposes.
