Asarel (personal name, descendant of Judah)
Among Judah's extensive genealogical records appears this name, whose etymology may involve the root for binding combined with the divine name El—"God has bound" or "whom God bound." Such theophoric names expressed parental devotion or commemorated circumstances of birth. The Chronicles preserve these names as part of tribal and family identity.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name appearing in 1 Chronicles 4:16 within Judah's genealogical records. The theophoric element (El) combined with a verbal root suggests divine action—possibly "God has bound" in the sense of votive dedication. Cross-linguistic renderings preserve the proper name through transliteration, with some texts showing orthographic uncertainty indicated by brackets. 1×
