1. Machir (proper name) — A personal name borne by two individuals in the Hebrew Bible: (1) Machir son of Manasseh, ancestor of the Machirites and conqueror of Gilead (Genesis 50:23; Numbers 26:29, 27:1, 32:39-40; Deuteronomy 3:15; Joshua 13:31, 17:1-3; Judges 5:14; 1 Chronicles 2:21-23, 7:14-17); (2) Machir son of Ammiel of Lo-debar who sheltered Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:4-5, 17:27).

All grammatical variants (bare name, with conjunctive waw, with preposition ל) are inflectional, not semantic. 22×
