Aharah, personal name (son of Benjamin, possibly same as Ahiram or Ehi in other genealogies)
Aharah appears in 1 Chronicles 8:1 as the third son of Benjamin. The name presents typical genealogical challenges, as parallel lists give different names—Genesis 46:21 has Ehi, and Numbers 26:38 has Ahiram. These may represent the same individual known by different names, or they may reflect textual variations developed over centuries of transmission. The root of the name may relate to "after" or "following," though the exact meaning remains uncertain.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name identifying one of Benjamin's sons in the 1 Chronicles genealogy. The variations across different biblical genealogies (Aharah/Ahiram/Ehi) illustrate the textual complexities inherent in preserving ancient family records. Chronicles often presents unique or variant forms of names found in earlier sources, possibly reflecting different manuscript traditions or regional pronunciations. Despite the uncertainty, the name functions to establish Benjamite family structure and tribal identity. 1×
