Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root word אָלַף (alaph), which means "to learn" or "to teach."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun "Eleph" as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of tribal and familial divisions can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament to describe genealogies and tribal affiliations, such as φυλή (phylē • tribe) and γένος (genos • family, race). These Greek terms reflect similar cultural and social structures in the context of the New Testament. Usage: The term "Eleph" is used in the context of a geographical location or a familial group within the tribe of Manasseh. It appears in the genealogical and territorial listings in the Old Testament. Context: • Eleph is mentioned in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Joshua. Specifically, it is listed among the towns and villages within the territory assigned to the tribe of Manasseh. In Joshua 17:2, the text refers to the descendants of Manasseh, including the family of Eleph, as part of the division of land among the tribes of Israel. The mention of Eleph highlights the detailed record-keeping and the importance of familial and tribal identities in ancient Israelite society. The precise location of Eleph is not definitively known today, but it is understood to be part of the broader region allocated to Manasseh, which was situated on the west side of the Jordan River.
