They are descendants of Jahleel, who was one of the sons of Zebulun, a patriarch of the Israelite tribe of Zebulun. The Jahleelites are thus part of the broader tribal confederation of Israel, specifically linked to the tribe of Zebulun.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>The primary biblical reference to the Jahleelites is found in the Book of Numbers, which provides a census of the tribes of Israel as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. In <a href="/numbers/26-26.htm">Numbers 26:26</a>, the text states: "The descendants of Zebulun by their clans were: the Seredite clan from Sered, the Elonite clan from Elon, and the Jahleelite clan from Jahleel." <br><br>This passage situates the Jahleelites within the context of the tribal organization of Israel during the wilderness period. The mention of Jahleel as a clan leader underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal affiliation in the social and religious structure of ancient Israel.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>The tribe of Zebulun, to which the Jahleelites belonged, was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, each descending from one of the sons of Jacob. Zebulun was the sixth son of Leah and Jacob, and his descendants were allotted a portion of land in the northern region of Canaan, near the Sea of Galilee. This area was known for its fertile land and strategic location, which facilitated trade and interaction with neighboring peoples.<br><br>The Jahleelites, as part of the tribe of Zebulun, would have shared in the tribal inheritance and responsibilities. The tribal system was central to the identity and governance of the Israelites, with each tribe contributing to the collective life of the nation, including military service, religious observance, and participation in communal decision-making.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>While the Jahleelites are not prominently featured in biblical narratives, their inclusion in the genealogical records highlights the importance of every clan and family within the covenant community of Israel. The detailed genealogies found in the Pentateuch serve to affirm God's faithfulness to His promises to the patriarchs, ensuring that each tribe and clan is remembered and accounted for in the unfolding account of God's people.<br><br>The Jahleelites, like other clans, were part of the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars and to give them a land of their own. This promise is a central theme in the biblical narrative, underscoring God's sovereignty and the continuity of His covenant relationship with Israel.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>The Jahleelites, though briefly mentioned, are a testament to the intricate tapestry of Israel's tribal history. Their presence in the biblical record serves as a reminder of the diverse and multifaceted nature of God's chosen people, each clan contributing to the rich heritage of faith and obedience that characterizes the nation of Israel.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">JAHLEELITES, THE</span><p>ja'-le-el-its (hayachle'eli, coll. with article): In <a href="/numbers/26-26.htm">Numbers 26:26</a>, the descendants of the clan of Jahleel.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3178.htm"><span class="l">3178.
