Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the name Kelajah, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

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

Context: • Kelajah is a post-exilic figure mentioned in the context of the return from Babylonian captivity. He is listed among the Levites who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel. The name appears in the book of Nehemiah, where Kelajah is identified as one of the Levites who participated in the public reading and explanation of the Law to the people, as well as in the sealing of the covenant. This indicates his role in the religious and communal restoration of Israel after the exile.
Biblical Reference: Nehemiah 10:10 (BSB) • "And their brothers: Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan."
