The name "Manasseh" in Hebrew means "causing to forget," reflecting Joseph's sentiment of forgetting his hardships in Egypt. Historically, the tribe of Manasseh was significant due to its large territory, which was divided on both sides of the Jordan River. This division symbolizes the dual nature of inheritance and responsibility, as they were tasked with maintaining unity despite geographical separation. The tribe's role in the allocation of the Promised Land underscores the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God's commands.<p><b>Hanniel</b><br />The name "Hanniel" means "God is gracious" in Hebrew. This name reflects the character and nature of God as one who bestows grace and favor upon His people. In the context of <a href="/numbers/34.htm">Numbers 34</a>, Hanniel is chosen as a leader to help distribute the land among the tribes, indicating that God's grace is evident in the leadership and governance of His people. The selection of Hanniel highlights the importance of godly leadership and the need for leaders to embody the grace and wisdom of God in their duties.<p><b>son of Ephod</b><br />The mention of "Ephod" as Hanniel's father provides a genealogical link, emphasizing the importance of family lineage and heritage in the Israelite community. The name "Ephod" itself is significant, as it is also the name of a sacred garment worn by the high priest, symbolizing divine communication and service. This connection may suggest that Hanniel's family was one of spiritual significance, entrusted with responsibilities that required a deep understanding of God's will. The reference to Ephod underscores the theme of divine appointment and the continuity of God's promises through generations.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/34-23.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Hanniel</span><br /><span class="heb">חַנִּיאֵ֖ל</span> <span class="translit">(ḥan·nî·’êl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
