IMPORTANT: Easton's Bible Dictionary is NOT exegetical, and can be counter to the scriptural or Hebrew and Greek definitions of words.
150 Years ago you couldn't be a Pastor anywhere in the world unless you were fluent in Hebrew..... Even in the so-called "Dark Ages" everyone had a local Priest who could speak, read and write in at least 2 languages, who taught out of a Latin Bible. How far have we fallen in word definitions! DO YOU BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD OR BELIEVE IN THE OPPOSITE? *******Recommended Materials for In-Depth Research of Scripture********* Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Complete and Unabridged (Every pastor uses or recommends this for their congregation) It's the main tool every Christian should have in their library along with a good Lexicon to get full definitions. Beware, using just Strong's alone without a Lexicon will not give you full definitions of many words since it's not meant to do the function of a Lexicon. You will need some of the following books to render in-depth research beyond the scope of Strong's Concordance: (Most of which are included in several computer programs such as PC Study Bible and online at HERE for FREE ACCESS) 1. The New Englishman's Greek Concordance and Lexicon of the New Testament, by Wigram-Green *These two books by Wigram-Green are what Strong's concordance is based upon. Every word in the bible is listed by (the original Greek and Hebrew)Strongs# rather than by English translation. You cannot miss the bible's definition of a word with this tool. You can see how the original word is used every time throughout the bible. This research tool makes any user blow away most any pastor these days.* 2. The New Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of the Old Testament, by Wigram-Green 3. Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament by Thayers 4. Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament by Gesenius 5. Interlinear Greek and English by Berry 6. Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible 7. Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words Keyed to Strong's Reference Numbers You can also order the KJV "Hebrew Greek Key Study bible" which has built-in lexicons and Strong's numbering within the actual text of King James, or if you prefer you can also get it in New American Standard. (we reccomend King James Version) We know you can always use the bible as it's own lexicon and use the word to interpret the word, however, but these are shortcuts for all who are wise to make quick use of. Thank You for using our online searchable Strong's concordance and dictionary. You can get all these books at ANY Bible bookstore and most major bookstores. Or order from us right now click here The first keys are finding what the bible's definition of a word is in scripture, not in 21st Century word definitions or MAJORITY Religious Doctrines in the broad path which leadeth to destruction. These tools help you see how the original word is used through the entire text of scripture, thus render the BIBLE'S Definition of a word since we live by Every Word and not by bread alone.

Elishah The oldest of the four sons of Javan (Gen 10:4), whose descendants peopled Greece. It has been supposed that Elishah's descendants peopled the Peloponnesus, which was known by the name of Elis. This may be meant by "the isles of Elishah" (Eze 27:7).
Elishama Whom God hears. (1.) A prince of Benjamin, grandfather of Joshua (Num 1:10; Ch1 7:26). (2.) One of David's sons (Sa2 5:16). (3.) Another of David's sons (Ch1 3:6). (4.) A priest sent by Jehoshaphat to teach the people the law (Ch2 17:8).
Elishaphat Whom God has judged, one of the "captains of hundreds" associated with Jehoiada in the league to overthrow the usurpation of Athaliah (Ch2 23:1).
Elisheba God is her oath, the daughter of Amminadab and the wife of Aaron (Exo 6:23).
Elishua God his salvation, a son of David, Sa2 5:15 = Elishama, Ch1 3:6.
Elkanah God-created. (1.) The second son of Korah (Exo 6:24), or, according to Ch1 6:22, Ch1 6:23, more correctly his grandson. (2.) Another Levite of the line of Heman the singer, although he does not seem to have performed any of the usual Levitical offices. He was father of Samuel the prophet (Ch1 6:27, Ch1 6:34). He was "an Ephrathite" (Sa1 1:1, Sa1 1:4, Sa1 1:8), but lived at Ramah, a man of wealth and high position. He had two wives, Hannah, who was the mother of Samuel, and Peninnah.
Elkosh God my bow, the birth-place of Nahum the prophet (Nah 1:1). It was probably situated in Galilee, but nothing definite is known of it.
Ellasar The oak or heap of Assyria, a territory in Asia of which Arioch was king (Gen 14:1, Gen 14:9). It is supposed that the old Chaldean town of Larsa was the metropolis of this kingdom, situated nearly half-way between Ur (now Mugheir) and Erech, on the left bank of the Euphrates. This town is represented by the mounds of Senkereh, a little to the east of Erech.
Elm Hos 4:13; rendered "terebinth" in the Revised Version. It is the Pistacia terebinthus of Linn., a tree common in Palestine, long-lived, and therefore often employed for landmarks and in designating places (Gen 35:4; Jdg 6:11, Jdg 6:19. Rendered "oak" in both A.V. and R.V.). (See TEIL TREE.)
Elnathan Whom God has given. (1.) An inhabitant of Jerusalem, the father of Nehushta, who was the mother of king Jehoiachin (Kg2 24:8). Probably the same who tried to prevent Jehoiakim from burning the roll of Jeremiah's prophecies (Jer 26:22; Jer 36:12). (2.) Ezr 8:16.
