The Elkoshite, gentilicic adjective identifying the prophet Nahum by his hometown Elkosh (location unknown)
This term identifies Nahum as 'the Elkoshite,' meaning a native or resident of Elkosh. The location of Elkosh remains unknown, though various traditions have placed it in Galilee, Assyria (near Mosul), or elsewhere. Jerome mentioned a Galilean village called Elcesi. The gentilicic form (like 'Bethlehemite' or 'Nazarene') was a common way to identify prophets by their hometown or place of ministry.

1. sense 1 — This adjective appears only in Nahum 1:1 as part of the prophet's identification. Unlike many prophets identified by parentage, Nahum is known by his hometown. The uncertain location of Elkosh has led to various proposals, but the name itself is preserved across translations. This geographic identifier would have helped ancient readers locate Nahum within a specific community, though that knowledge has been lost to us. 1×
