Yorai — personal name of a Gadite chief (1 Chr 5:13)
This name possibly means 'whom Yahweh teaches,' appearing among the chiefs of the tribe of Gad. The Gadite genealogies in Chronicles preserve the memory of trans-Jordanian tribal leadership. Though the individual appears only once, his inclusion demonstrates the Chronicler's concern to honor all of Israel's tribal heritage, not just Judah and Benjamin.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A chief of the Gadite tribe listed with the conjunction 'and' in a catalog of leaders. The name's possible derivation from a root meaning 'teach' with the divine name suggests parental hope for divine instruction. Translations across languages (Spanish 'y-Yoray') preserve the transliteration, recognizing this as a personal identifier within a genealogical framework. 1×
