Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be good for nothing.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the Hebrew אֱלוּל. However, concepts of worthlessness or being good for nothing can be found in various Greek terms used in the New Testament, such as ἀχρεῖος (achreios • Strong's Greek 888), which means "useless" or "unprofitable."

Usage: The word אֱלוּל does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) as a standalone term. It is primarily referenced in lexicons and biblical dictionaries for its etymological significance rather than its direct usage in the biblical text.

Context: The term אֱלוּל (Elul) is a Hebrew word that is not directly used in the canonical texts of the Bible. Its significance lies in its etymological roots, which suggest a meaning of "good for nothing" or "worthless." This term is often discussed in the context of understanding the linguistic and cultural background of biblical Hebrew. The root of אֱלוּל is considered unused, indicating that while the concept of worthlessness is present in the language, this specific form is not employed in the biblical narrative. The study of such terms helps scholars understand the broader semantic range of Hebrew vocabulary and the cultural values reflected in the language.
