Elmadam Įlmadam or Elmodam is the name of a figure in the genealogy of Jesus according to Luke. The term Elkoshite appears only in Nahum 1:1, where the prophet is called "Nahum the Elkoshite." It would seem to come from the name of a town named "Elkosh," but no such town has been positively identified. It is still uncertain exactly how the Chronicler intended for the names in verses 20 and 21 to relate to one another. This "Elead" may possibly be a repetition of the same name.

E Eleadah Įleadah, Elead, or Eladah is the name of a clan in the tribe of Ephraim, personified as an individual in 1 Chronicles 7:20. The passages involved are about the relations between Horite clans, but they are written as though the subject matter was the genealogical relationships between individuals, one of them named "Dishon." Dishon is described two times as the fifth son of Seir, but one time he is described as the son of Anah, who is in turn the son of Seir.

Cheran Ĭheran is the name given to a Horite clan in Genesis 36:28 and 1 Chronicles 1:41. The underlying Hebrew term also appears in 2 Kings 23:5 and Hosea 10:5, and its precise meaning is not known. In most later translations the noun is treated as a common noun meaning "idolatrous priests" or something similar. In the King James Version of the Bible, people known as "Chemarims" (Hebrew kemarim) are mentioned in Zephaniah 1:4 as people to be punished by God for their associations with idolatry.

According to the Encyclopaedia Biblica, the term seems to be "the title of certain officers under Darius," and it is "misunderstood" as referring to a tribe of people. However, an alternate form of the same name, "Apharsachites," appears in Ezra 5:6 and 6:6. The exact spelling "Apharsathchites" occurs only in Ezra 4:9. The Encyclopaedia Biblica raises the possibility that the correct reading is "Ahiman" rather than "Ahumai."
