Telah (with conjunction), personal name: an ancestor in the genealogy of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 7:25)
A personal name appearing in the genealogical records of Ephraim in 1 Chronicles 7:25. The name's etymology is uncertain, and it appears nowhere else in biblical texts. Like many names in Chronicles' genealogies, it serves to maintain the tribal lineage records, connecting post-exilic Ephraimites to their ancestral heritage. The Septuagint's transliteration variants reflect ancient uncertainty about pronunciation. This is one of many figures whose significance lies entirely in preserving genealogical continuity.
