Ishvah/Yishvah, son of Asher in the tribal genealogies (Gen 46:17; 1 Chr 7:30)
This personal name designates one of Asher's sons listed in both the descent to Egypt narrative and the Chronicles genealogies. Unlike his brothers Ishvi and Beriah, Ishvah receives no further mention or descendants in the biblical record, suggesting his line either died out early or was absorbed into other Asherite clans. The name appears with a conjunctive prefix in both occurrences, integrating it into the genealogical lists.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Found in Genesis 46:17 and 1 Chronicles 7:30 in parallel genealogies of Asher. Both instances include the conjunction "and," placing Ishvah second in the list of Asher's sons. The Septuagint variations (Iessai, Isua, Iēsous) show the transliteration challenges, with some forms coincidentally resembling the name Jesus. The lack of descendants suggests Ishvah's line was not prominent in later Asherite history. 2×
