Context: Chelah is a proper noun found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically within genealogical or geographical contexts. The name is derived from a root that suggests a meaning related to being "fat" or "fertile," which may imply a place of abundance or prosperity. The exact identification of Chelah is uncertain, and it is not widely referenced in biblical texts, suggesting it may have been a minor location or a less prominent figure in the genealogical records. The limited mention of Chelah in the scriptures does not provide extensive details about its historical or cultural significance. However, its inclusion in the biblical record underscores the comprehensive nature of genealogical and territorial documentation in the Hebrew Bible.
