Bible Person

Elam

Meaning: a young man; a virgin; a secret · Male · 1 cross reference

This Elam entry refers to a covenant signatory in Nehemiah, distinct from the musical and genealogical figures of the same name. He belongs to the restored community's formal pledge to walk in God's law. First appears in Neh 10:14.1

AI summary: This Elam matters because his single cross reference places the name among those sealing the covenant in Jerusalem. Whether understood as an individual or a house representative, the entry stands within one of the clearest communal acts of post-exilic obedience. Taken together, the material presents this Elam as part of covenant renewal in restored Judah.1
