Uri — a Hebrew proper name meaning 'fiery,' borne by three distinct men in the Old Testament
Uri (meaning 'fiery,' possibly a shortened form of Uriah) is borne by at least three individuals in Scripture: the father of Bezalel, chief artisan of the tabernacle (Exod 31:2; 35:30; 38:22); a temple porter in Ezra's time (Ezra 10:24); and the father of one of Solomon's district governors (1 Kgs 4:19). Despite referring to different people, translations consistently render the name as a simple transliteration — English and Spanish 'Uri,' French and German the same — reflecting its transparent phonology.
