Ebiasaf (Abiasaph); personal name meaning 'my father has gathered' or 'father has added'
This Hebrew proper name means 'my father has gathered' or 'the father has added,' a theophoric name expressing gratitude or hope. Ebiasaf (or Abiasaph, variant spelling) was a descendant of Korah, a Levitical family line. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 6:23, 37 and 9:19, tracing Levitical genealogies. Exodus 6:24 mentions him as a son of Korah. Despite the rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16), his descendants survived and became gatekeepers and musicians in Israel's worship. The preservation of Korah's line testifies to God's mercy—the sons were not destroyed with their rebellious ancestor but served the sanctuary for generations.
