Strong's Lexicon Eltolad: Eltolad Original Word: אֶלְתּוֹלַד Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and תּוֹלֵדָה (toledah, meaning "generation" or "birth"), suggesting a meaning related to "God's generation" or "God's offspring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Eltolad in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Eltolad is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a town in the southern part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah and later given to the tribe of Simeon. The name likely reflects a theological significance, emphasizing divine involvement in the establishment or lineage of the place. Cultural and Historical Background: Eltolad was situated in the Negev region, an arid area in the southern part of ancient Israel. This region was known for its challenging environment, requiring its inhabitants to rely on pastoral and agricultural activities suited to dry conditions. The allocation of Eltolad to the tribe of Simeon, which was absorbed into Judah over time, reflects the shifting tribal boundaries and the integration of smaller tribes into larger ones in ancient Israel.
