Elasah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Elasah is mentioned in Jer 29:3 as one of the two messengers (along with Gemariah) who carried a letter from the prophet Jeremiah to the exiles in Babylon. The letter contained Jeremiah's message encouraging the exiles to settle down, build houses, and pray for the peace of the city where they were living. Elasah's role as a messenger indicates he was trusted to deliver this important communication.
