Elea'leh. (the ascending of God). A place on the east of Jordan, taken possession of and rebuilt by the tribe of Reuben. Num_32:3; Num_32:37. By Isaiah and Jeremiah, it is mentioned as a Moabite town. Isa_15:4; Isa_16:9; Jer_48:34.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


ē-lē̇-ā?le (אלעלה, 'el‛ālēh, ?God has ascended?): Lay in the country taken from Sihon and within the lot given to Reuben (Num_32:3, Num_32:17 f). ?Their names being changed? seems to apply to all the towns mentioned. There is no indication of the other names. Elealeh is noticed with Heshbon in the oracles against Moab in Isa_15:4; Isa_16:9; Jer_48:34. Eusebius (Onomasticon) locates it one Roman mile from Heshbon. It is represented today by el‛Āl, a mound crowned with ruins, about a mile North of Ḥesbāň.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PRINTER 1915.


Elea?leh, a town of the Reubenites east of the Jordan (Num_32:3; Num_32:37); but which is named by the prophets as a city of the Moabites (Isa_15:4; Isa_16:9; Jer_48:34). It is usually mentioned along with Heshbon; and accordingly travelers find in the neighborhood of that city a ruined place, bearing the name of El Aal, which doubtless represents Elealeh. It stands upon the summit of a hill, and takes its name from its situation, Aal meaning 'high.' It commands the whole plain, and the view from it is very extensive. It is about a mile and a quarter north-east of Heshbon.
