Uzziel — personal name meaning 'my strength is God,' borne by Levites, a Simeonite, and a Benjaminite
A theophoric name compounded from ʿuzzî ('my strength') and ʾēl ('God'). Uzziel appears most prominently as the son of Kohath and grandson of Levi, making him the eponymous ancestor of the Uzzielite Levitical clan (Exod 6:18, 22; Lev 10:4; Num 3:19, 30; 1 Chr 6:3; 15:10; 23:12, 20; 24:24). His descendants Mishael and Elzaphan carried the bodies of Nadab and Abihu from the sanctuary (Lev 10:4). Other bearers include a Levitical musician (1 Chr 25:4), a Hezekiah-era Levite (2 Chr 29:14), a Simeonite military leader (1 Chr 4:42), a Benjaminite (1 Chr 7:7), and a wall-repairer under Nehemiah (Neh 3:8).
Senses
1. Uzziel — Proper masculine name meaning 'my strength is God,' primarily identifying the Kohathite Levite who founded the Uzzielite clan. The majority of occurrences trace this Levitical lineage through Exodus, Numbers, and Chronicles (Exod 6:18; Num 3:19, 30; 1 Chr 23:12, 20). Secondary bearers include temple musicians, a Simeonite captain, and Nehemiah's wall-builder (Neh 3:8). French and English uniformly render Uzziel, while German alternates between Usiel and Uzziel, reflecting uncertainty about the initial sibilant. 16×
