Eleasah Eleasah

Eleasah is the name of a man from Judah (1 Chr 2:39), a Benjaminite (1 Chr 8:37), a priest who divorced his foreign wife during the purge of Ezra (Ezr 10:22) and a postman who delivered Jeremiah's letter to the exiles in Babylon (Jer 29:3).

The name Eleasah consists of two elements. The first element is el (El 93), the common abbreviation of Elohim, the genus God. The second element comes from the verb asa ('asa 1708), to do, fashion, accomplish (see the name Esau). The obvious noun derived from this verb is maaseh (ma'aseh 1708a), work or deed.

The name Eleasah means God Has Made and is the reversal of the name Asahel, Made By God.
