NASB Translation
Elead (1).

אֶלְעָד proper name, masculine (God has testified) an Ephraimite 1 Chronicles 7:21.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and עַד (ad, meaning "eternity" or "forever").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Elad, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of God's eternity is echoed in various Greek terms related to God's eternal nature, such as αἰώνιος (aionios, meaning "eternal" or "everlasting").

Usage: Elad is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Elad is a name mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Ephraim. In 1 Chronicles 7:21, Elad is listed as one of the sons of Ephraim. The passage recounts a tragic event where the sons of Ephraim, including Elad, were killed by the men of Gath because they had gone down to take their livestock. This incident is part of the broader genealogical and historical narrative that outlines the lineage and experiences of the tribes of Israel. The name Elad, meaning "God is eternal," reflects the theocentric worldview of the Israelites, emphasizing the eternal nature of God amidst the temporal and often tragic events of human history.
