Malchiel (personal name: 'God is my king' or 'El is king')
A personal name meaning 'God is my king' or 'El is king,' belonging to a son of Beriah from the tribe of Asher. Malchiel appears in three parallel genealogical lists: Genesis 46:17 (Jacob's family going to Egypt), Numbers 26:45 (the wilderness census), and 1 Chronicles 7:31 (tribal genealogies). His descendants formed a clan within Asher. The theophoric name reflects faith in divine sovereignty, a common theme in Israelite personal names.
