Elioenai
אֶלְיוֹעֵינַי · el.yo.e.nay · H0454K“toward him are mine eyes; or to him are my fountains” Hitchcock's 18691 mention, all in Ezra
Who he was
Elioenai is listed in the Book of Ezra as one of the Israelites who had married foreign women during the Babylonian exile (Ezra 10:27). After the return to Jerusalem, Ezra discovered that many Israelites had intermarried with the neighboring peoples, which was a violation of God's command. Elioenai was among those who had taken foreign wives, but he agreed to put away his wife as part of the covenant renewal led by Ezra.
