Elitsur
Elizur
Elitsur (ʼĔlîytsûwr) is a proper name referring to an Israelite male individual, specifically the leader of the tribe of Reuben during the wilderness period (Num 1:5; 2:10; 7:30, 35; 10:18). The etymological components suggest 'God is (my) rock' or 'El is (a) rock,' yet the primary lexical meaning in the biblical text is as a personal name identifying a specific patriarchal figure. The semantic range is limited to its use as a theophoric personal name within genealogical and leadership contexts in the Pentateuch.
