A Hebrew personal name meaning 'He (God) redeems,' borne by three different individuals in biblical narrative. First, one of the twelve spies sent to explore Canaan, representing the tribe of Issachar. Second, one of David's mighty warriors. Third, a descendant of the royal line of Zerubbabel in post-exilic genealogy. The name reflects the theophoric pattern of incorporating divine action into personal names. Each bearer belongs to a different period and social context—wilderness wandering, Davidic military, and post-exilic restoration—showing the name's enduring popularity.
