Gad was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after one of the sons of Jacob. The tribe of Gad settled on the east side of the Jordan River, in a region known for its good pastureland, which was suitable for their large flocks and herds. This geographical location is significant as it highlights the tribe's role as protectors of Israel's eastern border. The name "Ozni" is derived from the Hebrew root meaning "ear," which may symbolize listening or obedience, a valued trait in the Israelite community. The clan structure within the tribes of Israel was crucial for maintaining order and distributing land and resources, as well as for military organization.<p><b>the Erite clan from Eri</b><br>The Erite clan from Eri is another family within the tribe of Gad. The name "Eri" is associated with the Hebrew word for "watchful" or "vigilant," which could reflect the characteristics or the role of this clan within the tribe. The tribe of Gad, including the Erite clan, was known for its warriors and played a significant role in the military campaigns of Israel. The division into clans and families was essential for maintaining the social and religious structure of the Israelites, as each clan had specific roles and responsibilities. This clan system also ensured the preservation of heritage and identity within the larger tribal framework. The mention of these clans in the census of <a href="/numbers/26.htm">Numbers 26</a> underscores the importance of lineage and inheritance in the Israelite community, as well as the fulfillment of God's promises to the descendants of Abraham.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/o/ozni.htm">Ozni</a></b><br>A descendant of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
