Elealeh, a Moabite town near Heshbon allotted to Reuben.
A place name meaning perhaps 'God ascends,' identifying a village in the territory of Reuben near Heshbon in Transjordan. It appears first in the tribal allotment record (Num 32:3, 37) and later in prophetic oracles against Moab (Isa 15:4; 16:9; Jer 48:34), where its devastation signals divine judgment. The site is identified with modern el-Al, northeast of Heshbon.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The place name Elealeh, a Transjordanian town near Heshbon. Assigned to Reuben after the conquest (Num 32:3, 37), it later appears in Isaiah's and Jeremiah's oracles against Moab (Isa 15:4; 16:9; Jer 48:34) as a symbol of Moabite cities laid waste. The consistent transliteration across languages (Spanish 'Elealé,' English 'Elealeh') reflects its status as a proper noun with no semantic translation needed. 5×
