Ohad (personal name), son of Simeon
One of Simeon's six sons listed in the genealogies (Genesis 46:10, Exodus 6:15). The name's meaning is uncertain, though it may relate to 'unity' or 'might.' Ohad appears in the early genealogical lists but is absent from later censuses (Numbers 26), suggesting his family line either died out or was absorbed into other Simeonite clans. His inclusion in the Genesis and Exodus lists documents the family that went down to Egypt during the famine.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Ohad stands among Simeon's sons in the descent-to-Egypt narratives. His name appears in Genesis 46 (Jacob's household) and Exodus 6 (Moses and Aaron's lineage), but vanishes from Numbers 26's wilderness census. This pattern suggests the Ohadite clan didn't survive to enter Canaan, either through extinction or merger with other families. Simeon's tribe suffered overall decline (from 59,300 to 22,200 between censuses), and individual clan disappearances like Ohad's contributed to this demographic collapse. 2×
