Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Elasah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: Elasah is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Elasah is a name attributed to two individuals in the Old Testament:

• Elasah, the son of Shaphan: He is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah. Elasah, along with Gemariah, was sent by King Zedekiah of Judah to Babylon with a letter from the prophet Jeremiah to the exiles. This letter, found in Jeremiah 29:3, contained instructions and encouragement for the Jewish exiles in Babylon. The passage reads: "He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon." (Jeremiah 29:3, BSB)

• Elasah, a descendant of Judah: He is listed in the genealogies of the tribe of Judah in 1 Chronicles 2:39-40. Elasah is noted as a descendant of Hezron, through Jerahmeel, and is part of the lineage that traces the ancestry of the tribe of Judah.
