el.ye.ho.e.nay is a personal name used for an individual in genealogical and travel-list contexts.

The term is used as a proper personal name: in 1 Chronicles 26:3 it identifies the seventh person in a numbered list, and in Ezra 8:4 it identifies a man named as the son of Zerahiah within the sons of Pahath-moab.

    Both occurrences are tagged as a proper noun. In 1 Chronicles 26:3, the form identifies the seventh person after Elam and Johanan; the APB renders the list, “Elam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.” In Ezra 8:4, it identifies a man as Zerahiah’s son among the sons of Pahath-moab; the APB renders “Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Eliehoenai” in both verses: once in a numbered list and once with the identifying phrase “son of Zerahiah.” The verse is read as a whole, but both clauses present it as a personal name.
