Iezer, personal name (abbreviated form of Abiezer)
A Manassite clan name, the shortened form of Abiezer ('my father is help'). Numbers 26:30 uses this abbreviated version in the census list, while other texts employ the full form. Iezer was reckoned as a 'son' of Gilead in the tribal genealogies. The gentilics Iezerite and Abiezrite both appear in Scripture, showing fluid use of abbreviated and full name forms in ancient Israel.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Clan designation within the tribe of Manasseh, representing descendants of Iezer/Abiezer. In Numbers 26:30's census, this shortened form appears without the theophoric element 'father,' though the meaning remains understood. The multilingual glosses simply transliterate, as typical for personal and clan names. This variant demonstrates Hebrew onomastic flexibility, where abbreviated forms functioned interchangeably with fuller theophoric names in genealogical contexts. 1×
