the Iezerite (gentilic with article)
The gentilic form with definite article, designating members of the Iezer/Abiezer clan within Manasseh. Numbers 26:30 uses this to denote the family group descended from Iezer. The article makes it definite: 'the Iezerite [family].' This grammatical form is typical in census and genealogical lists where clan membership needed clear articulation. Equal to אֲבִי הָעֶזְרִי in other passages.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Definite gentilic referring to the Iezerite clan as a recognized family unit within Manasseh's tribal structure. The article הָ- specifies this particular group in Numbers 26:30's census list. Multilingual renderings (the-Iezerite, los-iezeritas, le-Iezerite, der-Iezerite) uniformly preserve the definiteness, indicating an established, identifiable kinship group. This contrasts with indefinite usage, emphasizing the clan's recognized standing in Israel's tribal confederation. 1×
