1. Eleazar (proper name) — A masculine proper name meaning 'God has helped' (from אֵל 'God' + עָזַר 'to help'), borne by several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most prominently: (a) Eleazar son of Aaron, who became high priest after Aaron's death (Exod 6:23, 25; Num 3:2, 4, 32; 16:37, 39; 19:3-4; 20:25-28; 31:29, 41; Josh 14:1; 24:33; Judg 20:28), and (b) other minor figures including Eleazar son of Abinadab (1 Sam 7:1), Eleazar son of Dodo (2 Sam 23:9), and Levites in Chronicles and Ezra. All four clusters represent the same proper noun; the splits arose from prepositional variants (ל 'to/for' Eleazar) and minor transliteration differences (Eleazar vs. Elazar), not from distinct referents requiring separate lexicographic senses. 72×
