Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
אֵלֶּה demonstrative pronoun plural these (Nabataean אלה (Lzb264 Cooke241), Cappadocian and Egyptian Aramaic אלה (LzbEph. i. 323 RÉS361 A 3 S-CPap. E.13, Ki 13): probably therefore not, as used to be supposed, a Hebraism, but a peculiarity of the dialects of Jer 10:11 and of Ezra (in which the usually Aramaic form אִלֵּין does not occur) : see further אִלֵּין); — these, Jer 10:11; Ezra 5:15 Kt .
