Bible Person

Elasah

Meaning: the doings of God · Male · 1 cross reference

This Elasah entry refers to one of the men named in Ezra 10, not to the envoy associated with Jeremiah's letter to the exiles. He belongs to the restored community's difficult process of marriage reform. First appears in Ezra 10:22.1

AI summary: This Elasah matters because his single cross reference places him among those publicly identified in Ezra's response to unlawful marriages. The entry shows that post-exilic renewal involved concrete personal repentance as well as public rebuilding. Taken together, the material presents this Elasah as one of the individuals included in covenant correction.1
