This reflects the broader theme of spiritual renewal and the need for even religious leaders to adhere to God's laws.<p><b>Elioenai:</b><br>The name Elioenai means "My eyes are toward God," which reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of naming children with theophoric elements, indicating a connection to God.

In this context, it signifies the importance of being attentive to God's voice and the need for obedience, especially during times of reform and covenant renewal.<p><b>Nethanel:</b><br>Nethanel means "Given by God." This name is indicative of the belief that children are blessings from God, a common theme in Hebrew culture. It also emphasizes the idea that leadership and service in the community are divinely appointed roles, reinforcing the need for faithfulness to God's commands.<p><b>Jozabad:</b><br>Jozabad means "Yahweh has bestowed." This name is associated with several individuals in the Bible who were involved in temple service or military leadership. It highlights the theme of divine provision and the responsibility of those who receive God's gifts to use them in service to Him and His people.<p><b>Elasah:</b><br>Elasah means "God has made."
