This genealogy highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite culture, emphasizing the continuity of God's promises through specific family lines. Bilhan, as the son of Jediael, represents a link in this chain, underscoring the significance of each generation in maintaining the covenant relationship with God. The name Bilhan may mean "their decrepitude" or "modest," reflecting the cultural practice of naming children with meanings that could reflect circumstances or hopes.<p><b>The sons of Bilhan: Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar.</b><br>This list of Bilhan's sons provides insight into the expansion and growth of the tribe of Benjamin. Each name carries its own significance and potential historical or cultural implications. Jeush, meaning "assembler" or "he will gather," could imply a role in uniting or leading people. Benjamin, sharing the name with the patriarch of the tribe, reinforces the connection to the tribe's origins and identity. Ehud, meaning "united" or "strong," is a name shared with a notable judge in Israel's history, known for delivering Israel from Moabite oppression (<a href="/judges/3-15.htm">Judges 3:15-30</a>). This connection may suggest a legacy of leadership and deliverance within the family line. Chenaanah, meaning "trader" or "merchant," could indicate involvement in commerce or trade, reflecting the economic activities of the time. Zethan, whose meaning is less clear, may still hold cultural or familial significance. Tarshish, often associated with distant lands and trade, suggests a connection to broader geographical and economic networks. Ahishahar, meaning "my brother is dawn," could symbolize hope or new beginnings, reflecting the aspirations of the family or tribe. Each name contributes to the tapestry of Israel's history, illustrating the diverse roles and contributions of its people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jediael.htm">Jediael</a></b><br>A descendant of Benjamin, Jediael is listed as a patriarch whose lineage is detailed in this passage.
