Elasah — proper name meaning 'God has made,' borne by four men in Chronicles, Ezra, and Jeremiah.
Elasah is a masculine proper name meaning 'God has made,' formed from 'El' (God) and 'asah' (to make or do). It appears in four distinct genealogical and narrative contexts: a descendant of Judah through Sheshan's line (1 Chr 2:39-40), a Benjamite in the family of Saul (1 Chr 8:37; 9:43), a priest of Pashur's line who had married a foreign wife (Ezra 10:22), and a son of Shaphan who carried Jeremiah's letter to the Babylonian exiles (Jer 29:3). The name's theophoric structure parallels many Hebrew names celebrating God's creative action.
