His name appears in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of 1 Chronicles, which provides a detailed account of the lineage and descendants of the tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/7-32.htm">1 Chronicles 7:32-33</a> :</b> "The sons of Jada, the brother of Shammai: Jether and Jonathan. Jether died without children. The sons of Jonathan: Peleth and Zaza. These were the descendants of Jerahmeel. Now Sheshan had no sons, only daughters, but he had an Egyptian servant named Jarha. So Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to his servant Jarha, and she bore him Attai."<br><br>In this passage, Japhlet is listed as one of the sons of Heber, who is a descendant of Asher. The genealogy highlights the familial connections within the tribe, emphasizing the importance of lineage and heritage in the Israelite community.<br><br><b>Tribal Significance:</b><br><br>Japhlet's inclusion in the genealogical records underscores the significance of the tribe of Asher in the broader narrative of Israel's history. Asher was one of the northern tribes, and its territory was known for its fertile land and abundant resources. The tribe played a role in the settlement of the Promised Land and contributed to the collective identity of the Israelite nation.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve not only as historical records but also as a means of preserving the cultural and religious heritage of the Israelites. They reflect the patriarchal structure of ancient Israelite society, where lineage and inheritance were traced through the male line. The mention of Japhlet and his family within this context highlights the continuity of the tribal legacy and the fulfillment of God's promises to the descendants of Jacob.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the genealogies, including the mention of Japhlet, demonstrate God's faithfulness in maintaining the lineages of His chosen people. They serve as a testament to the divine plan unfolding through history, as each name represents a link in the chain of God's covenantal relationship with Israel. The preservation of these records in Scripture underscores the importance of remembering and honoring the past as part of the ongoing account of God's people.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>While Japhlet himself may not be a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his inclusion in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles highlights the interconnectedness of the tribes of Israel and the enduring significance of family and heritage in the biblical tradition. Through these records, the Bible provides a glimpse into the lives of those who contributed to the rich tapestry of Israel's history and faith.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Japhlet</span><p>Japhleti, delivered; banished<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Japhlet</span><p>(<i>whom God delivers</i>) a descendant of Asher through Beriah.
