Assir — a personal name meaning 'prisoner,' borne by a Levitical descendant of Korah and others in Chronicles genealogies.
A Hebrew proper name derived from the root meaning 'to bind' or 'prisoner.' Assir appears as a son of Korah in Exodus 6:24 and recurs in the Levitical genealogies of 1 Chronicles 6, where he is also called a son of Ebiasaph. The name surfaces again in 1 Chronicles 3:17 in the royal line near the exile. Spanish and English translations consistently render it 'Assir/Asir,' while French and German sometimes transliterate the Hebrew directly as the consonantal form.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The personal name Assir, meaning 'prisoner' or 'bound one.' It identifies at least two individuals: a Levitical descendant of Korah who appears in the Exodus 6:24 genealogy and the extended Levitical line of 1 Chronicles 6:22–37, and possibly a figure in the Davidic genealogy of 1 Chronicles 3:17. The multilingual glosses uniformly transliterate the name (eng 'Assir,' spa 'Asir'), confirming it is treated as an untranslated proper noun across traditions. 5×
