Each occurrence is tagged as a proper noun. In Exodus 6:22 the APB renders the name among “The sons of Uzziel,” while Numbers 3:30 identifies “Elizaphan son of Uzziel” as leader of the Kohathite families and Numbers 34:25 names “the leader Elizaphan son of Parnach.” In Leviticus 10:4 Moses calls Elizaphan with Mishael, and 1 Chronicles 15:8 and 2 Chronicles 29:13 refer to “the sons of Elizaphan” in listed groups.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term consistently as “Elizaphan,” whether naming an individual, identifying a leader, or referring to “the sons of Elizaphan.” These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
