This name signifies honor, glory, and distinction, often associated with royalty or high status.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Atarah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. She is noted as a wife of Jerahmeel, who was the firstborn of Hezron, a descendant of Judah. The specific reference to Atarah is found in <a href="/1_chronicles/2-26.htm">1 Chronicles 2:26</a>: "Jerahmeel had another wife named Atarah, who was the mother of Onam."<br><br><b>Family Lineage and Significance:</b> <br>Atarah's mention in the genealogies highlights her role in the lineage of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Her son, Onam, is part of the extended family tree that contributes to the history and development of the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Judah holds significant importance in biblical history, as it is the tribe from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ descended.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b> <br>In the context of ancient Israelite society, genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal affiliations, inheritance rights, and fulfilling God's promises to the patriarchs. Women like Atarah, though often briefly mentioned, played essential roles in the continuation of family lines and the fulfillment of divine covenants.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>The inclusion of Atarah in the biblical record, albeit brief, underscores the importance of every individual in God's plan. Her presence in the genealogy of Judah serves as a reminder of the intricate and purposeful design of God's redemptive history. Each person, regardless of the length or detail of their mention, contributes to the unfolding of God's promises and the establishment of His kingdom.<br><br><b>Reflection in Christian Thought:</b> <br>Atarah's name, meaning "crown," can be seen as a metaphor for the believer's ultimate reward in Christ. The New Testament frequently uses the imagery of a crown to describe the eternal rewards awaiting those who remain faithful to God. As such, Atarah's name serves as a symbolic reminder of the honor and glory that come from a life aligned with God's purposes.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While Atarah's mention in the Bible is brief, her role in the genealogy of Judah highlights the interconnectedness of God's people and the unfolding of His divine plan through history. Her name, meaning "crown," serves as a powerful symbol of the honor and glory bestowed upon those who are part of God's covenant community.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Atarah</span><p>a crown<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Atarah</span><p>(<i>a crown</i>) a wife of Jerahmeel, and mother of Onam.
