452. Eliyyah
Strong's Lexicon
Eliyyah: Elijah

Original Word: אֵלִיָּהוּ
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Eliyyah
Pronunciation: eh-lee-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (ay-lee-yaw')
Definition: Elijah
Meaning: Elijah

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of the God of Israel).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2243 (Ἠλίας, Elias): The Greek form of Elijah, used in the New Testament.

Usage: The name Eliyyah means "My God is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my God." It is used as a proper noun to refer to the prophet Elijah, a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible known for his zealous defense of the worship of Yahweh against the encroaching worship of Baal.

Cultural and Historical Background: Elijah was a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of King Ahab (9th century BC). He is renowned for his miraculous deeds, including the raising of the widow's son, calling down fire from heaven, and his confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. Elijah's ministry was marked by his call for Israel to return to the worship of Yahweh and his opposition to idolatry. He is also known for his ascension to heaven in a whirlwind, which has made him a figure of eschatological significance in Jewish and Christian traditions.
