Abiezrite; gentilic adjective meaning 'belonging to the clan of Abiezer'
This Hebrew gentilic adjective identifies someone as belonging to the clan of Abiezer, a family within the tribe of Manasseh. All three occurrences relate to Gideon, the judge who delivered Israel from Midianite oppression. Judges 6:11 introduces 'Joash the Abiezrite,' Gideon's father. Judges 6:24 notes that Gideon built an altar at Ophrah, which 'belongs to Joash the Abiezrite.' Judges 8:32 records Gideon's burial 'in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.' The clan name connects to Abiezer, listed in Numbers 26:30 as a son (clan) of Gilead from Manasseh's lineage.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Translations render this as an ethnic or clan designation: English 'the Abiezrite,' Spanish 'abiezerita, avi-ha-ezri,' French 'le Abiezrite,' German 'der Abiezrite.' All three occurrences in Judges identify Gideon's family as Abiezrite, establishing his tribal and clan credentials within Manasseh. The designation grounds Gideon's story in Israel's tribal structure—he is not a generic hero but a man from a specific family and region, whom God raises up to deliver his people from oppression. 3×
