JFJ Forums - Names of God -25- ELAH Yerush lem

God is so wonderful, and the names of God in scripture help us finite creatures know more about our infinite God.

When I was talking with an intertribal church some years ago about the name of God as translated into their language, I realized that I did not know all the names of God revealed in scripture that I later heard grade school kids recite in front of their church. Eventually I found a helpful site (allaboutGod), and made individual cards to try to memorize them and get them into my head a little better. I would like to post them here, in a one name/one thread fashion. Those who know Hebrew will probably have other spellings or treatments, and that would be welcome to see, but mainly the specific name and applicable verses are what I am going for here.

ELAH is another name for God, used about 70 times in the OT. Again, when combined with other words, we see different attributes of God.

ELAH Yerush'lem

God of Jerusalem

Ezra 7:19 - The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.

Name of God in Arabic - Allah

Name of God in Hebrew - Elohim

This thread is about this particular name of God, ELAH Yerush'lem. It is not about disputed names, or for arguing about what is a name.

I invite readers to find from the Hebrew other scriptures that reference Elah Yerush'lem.
