Pedahzur — 'the Rock has ransomed'; father of Gamaliel, leader of Manasseh in the wilderness
A theophoric name combining pedah ('ransom') and tsur ('rock'), expressing the confession that God—the Rock of Israel—has redeemed. Pedahzur appears exclusively in Numbers as the father of Gamaliel, the chieftain appointed over the tribe of Manasseh during the wilderness census and march (Num 1:10, 2:20, 7:54, 59, 10:23). The name fits a pattern of redemption-themed names among the tribal leaders, affirming divine deliverance at the very moment Israel was being organized as a covenant community.
