Ammishaddai — a Danite leader whose name means 'my kinsman is Shaddai'
Ammishaddai is the father of Ahiezer, chieftain of the tribe of Dan during the wilderness period. The name is a theophoric compound combining 'ammi' (my kinsman) with 'Shaddai' (the Almighty), expressing a confession that God is as close as family. He appears exclusively in Numbers in census, camp arrangement, and offering contexts (Num 1:12; 7:66–71; 10:25). The LXX renders it Αμ(ε)ισαδαι, preserving both elements of the name.
