The name is understood to mean "my portion" or "my share," reflecting a sense of inheritance or divine allotment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics, divine promises, or familial heritage. The root חָלַק (chalak) is associated with the division of land or inheritance, which was a critical aspect of Israelite society, as land was tied to identity, sustenance, and divine promise. The name Chelqay may imply a connection to one's portion or inheritance from God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2505.htm">chalaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr. priest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Helkai (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חֶלְקָ֑י</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>priest, time of Joiakim son of Jeshua</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-15.htm">Nehemiah 12:15</a> (perhaps abbreviated for <font class="hebrew2">חלקיהו</font>, (q. v.), <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ξελκιας</font> (B omitted) <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Helkai <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2505.htm">chalaq</a>; apportioned; Chelkai, an Israelite -- Helkai. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2505.htm">chalaq</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>חֶלְקָֽי׃ חלקי׃ chelKai ḥel·qāy ḥelqāy<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/nehemiah/12-15.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Nehemiah 12:15</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עַדְנָ֔א לִמְרָי֖וֹת <b> חֶלְקָֽי׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/nehemiah/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Adna; of Meraioth, <span class="itali">Helkai;</span><br><a href="/kjvs/nehemiah/12.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Adna; of Meraioth, <span class="itali">Helkai;</span><br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-15.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Adna of Meraioth <span class="itali">Helkai</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2517.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2517.htm">Strong's Hebrew 2517<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/chelkai_2517.htm">ḥel·qāy — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/2516.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2516"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2516" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/2518.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2518"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2518" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
