His name appears in two distinct contexts, associated with different tribes of Israel, reflecting the complex tapestry of family lineages that characterize the biblical narrative.<br><br>1. <b>Ithran of the Tribe of Asher</b>: Ithran is listed as one of the descendants of Asher, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, who became the progenitor of the tribe of Asher. In <a href="/1_chronicles/7-30.htm">1 Chronicles 7:30-31</a>, the genealogy of Asher is detailed: "The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah. Their sister was Serah. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel, who was the father of Birzaith." Ithran is mentioned as a descendant in this lineage, although his specific role or deeds are not elaborated upon in the biblical text. The tribe of Asher was known for its prosperity and abundance, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a>: "Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king."<br><br>2. <b>Ithran of the Tribe of Judah</b>: Another Ithran is mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Judah. In <a href="/1_chronicles/4.htm">1 Chronicles 4:1</a>, the descendants of Judah are listed, and Ithran is noted as one of the sons of Dishon, a descendant of Seir the Horite. This Ithran is part of the extended family tree that includes various clans and families within the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Judah holds significant importance in biblical history, being the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended.<br><br>The name Ithran itself is of Hebrew origin, and while its exact meaning is not definitively known, it is often associated with the idea of abundance or excellence, which aligns with the characteristics attributed to the tribes he is associated with.<br><br>In the broader biblical narrative, genealogies serve to establish the historical and theological connections between different figures and tribes, underscoring the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. Ithran's inclusion in these genealogies highlights the continuity of God's covenantal relationship with His people through successive generations.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ithran</span><p>remaining; searching out diligently<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ithran</span><p>(<i>excellence</i>). <ol> <li>A son of Dishon, a Horite, (<a href="/genesis/36-26.htm">Genesis 36:26</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/1-41.htm">1 Chronicles 1:41</a>) and probably a phylarch of a tribe of the Horim.
