Strong's Lexicon Eloth: Eloth Original Word: אֵילוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵלָה (elah), meaning "terebinth" or "oak," which may refer to the presence of such trees in the area. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eloth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to a Hebrew geographical location. Usage: Eloth is a geographical name referring to a port city located on the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba, part of the Red Sea. It served as a significant maritime and trade hub in ancient times. Cultural and Historical Background: Eloth, also known as Elath, was an important city in the ancient kingdom of Edom and later became part of the territory of Israel. Its strategic location made it a vital center for trade and commerce, particularly in the exchange of goods between the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant. The city was known for its involvement in the trade of precious metals and other commodities. During the reign of King Solomon, Eloth was developed as a key port for his fleet, enhancing Israel's economic prosperity and international influence.
