This name reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of embedding the name of God, "El," within personal names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b> <br>Jahleel is mentioned in the context of the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. He is identified as one of the sons of Zebulun, a patriarch of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The primary biblical reference to Jahleel is found in the Book of Genesis:<br><br>· <b><a href="/genesis/46-14.htm">Genesis 46:14</a> :</b> "The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel."<br><br>This passage is part of the larger narrative detailing the descendants of Jacob (Israel) who went to Egypt during the time of famine. Jahleel, as a son of Zebulun, is part of the lineage that would form the tribe of Zebulun, one of the tribes that settled in the Promised Land.<br><br><b>Tribal Significance</b> <br>The tribe of Zebulun, to which Jahleel belonged, was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. According to the blessings of Jacob in <a href="/bsb/genesis/49.htm">Genesis 49</a> and the blessings of Moses in <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/33.htm">Deuteronomy 33</a>, Zebulun was a tribe associated with maritime trade and prosperity. The tribe's territory was located in the northern part of the land of Israel, near the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean Sea, which facilitated their involvement in trade and commerce.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b> <br>In the ancient Near Eastern context, genealogies served not only as records of ancestry but also as a means of establishing identity and inheritance rights. Jahleel's inclusion in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family lineage in the Israelite community. The genealogies in Genesis, including the mention of Jahleel, highlight the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding their descendants.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b> <br>The mention of Jahleel, though brief, is part of the broader narrative of God's covenantal faithfulness to the patriarchs and their descendants. Each name in the genealogies represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive plan, culminating in the coming of the Messiah through the line of Judah. Jahleel's place in the genealogy of Zebulun serves as a reminder of the diverse and multifaceted nature of God's people, each tribe contributing to the fulfillment of God's purposes for Israel.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b> <br>While Jahleel is not a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his inclusion in the genealogical records of Genesis signifies his role in the unfolding account of the people of Israel. His name, meaning "God waits" or "God hopes," reflects a theological truth about the nature of God and His relationship with His people, emphasizing themes of patience, hope, and divine timing.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jahleel</span><p>waiting for, or beseeching, or hope in, God<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jahleel</span><p>(<i>hoping in Jehovah</i>), the third of the three sons of Zebulun, (<a href="/genesis/46-14.htm">Genesis 46:14</a>; <a href="/numbers/26-26.htm">Numbers 26:26</a>) founder of the family of Jahleelites.
