אֱלִישׁוּעַ

# Elishua: A Minor Biblical Figure Elishua appears in the Hebrew Bible only twice, making him one of the least-mentioned individuals in the text. The name itself is a proper noun—a personal name rather than a common word with semantic range or metaphorical applications. As a name, it does not carry meaning in the way that vocabulary words do; rather, it identifies a specific person within the biblical narrative. Given the extremely limited occurrences (just two mentions), the lexical data alone cannot establish patterns of usage, thematic significance, or contextual importance. The name appears to designate an individual, but without access to the specific passages where it occurs, we cannot determine from this lexicon entry alone who Elishua was, what role he played, or why he appears in the biblical record. For meaningful analysis of this figure's significance, one would need to consult the actual biblical passages in which the name appears.
