Usage: Eldaah is used as a masculine proper name in the Old Testament. It appears in genealogical contexts, specifically as a descendant of Abraham. Context: Eldaah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Book of Genesis. He is identified as one of the sons of Midian, who was a son of Abraham through his wife Keturah. The reference to Eldaah is found in Genesis 25:4, where the descendants of Keturah are listed. This passage highlights the broader narrative of Abraham's lineage and the various nations that emerged from his descendants. Eldaah, along with his brothers, represents the extension of Abraham's family beyond the primary line of Isaac, contributing to the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations. Genesis 25:4 (BSB): "The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah." The mention of Eldaah in the genealogical record underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, reflecting the diverse branches of Abraham's family tree and their roles in the unfolding story of God's people.
