Eliasaph, 'God has added'; a Gadite chief and a Levitical leader in the wilderness period.
A theophoric proper name meaning 'God has added,' combining אֵל ('God') and יָסַף ('to add'). Two individuals bear this name in Numbers: the son of Deuel (or Reuel), chief of the tribe of Gad during the wilderness census and march (Num 1:14; 2:14; 7:42, 47; 10:20), and the son of Lael, chief of the Gershonite clan of Levites responsible for the tabernacle coverings (Num 3:24). Both figures serve in administrative and liturgical roles during Israel's formative wilderness period.
