His name appears in the context of the Levitical lineage, which is significant for understanding the priestly and religious heritage of the Israelites.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b> <br>Ibri is mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/24-27.htm">1 Chronicles 24:27</a>, which details the divisions of the sons of Levi. The verse in the Berean Standard Bible reads: "The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri."<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b> <br>Ibri is identified as a descendant of Levi, specifically through the line of Merari. The Levites were one of the twelve tribes of Israel, set apart for religious duties and the service of the Tabernacle, and later the Temple in Jerusalem. The Merarites, one of the three main Levitical families, were responsible for the care and transportation of the Tabernacle's structural components, such as the frames, bars, pillars, and bases (<a href="/numbers/3-36.htm">Numbers 3:36-37</a>).<br><br><b>Name Meaning and Significance:</b> <br>The name "Ibri" is derived from the Hebrew root "עבר" (ʿbr), which can mean "to cross over" or "to pass through." This root is also associated with the term "Hebrew" (ʿibri), which is used to describe the descendants of Eber, an ancestor of Abraham. The name Ibri, therefore, carries connotations of heritage and identity, linking him to the broader narrative of the Hebrew people.<br><br><b>Role and Function:</b> <br>While the Bible does not provide specific details about Ibri's personal life or his individual contributions, his inclusion in the genealogical records underscores the importance of lineage and family roles within the Levitical priesthood. Each member of the Levitical families had specific duties, and their genealogies were meticulously recorded to ensure the proper functioning of religious services.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>The mention of Ibri, though brief, highlights the meticulous care with which the Israelites preserved their genealogical records. This attention to detail reflects the importance of maintaining a pure and unbroken line of descent for those serving in the sacred roles of the priesthood. It also emphasizes the continuity of God's covenant with the descendants of Levi, ensuring that the worship and religious practices of Israel were conducted according to divine ordinance.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Ibri's presence in the biblical genealogies serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of individuals who contributed to the spiritual life of ancient Israel. Though not much is known about him personally, his inclusion in the sacred texts underscores the value placed on heritage, duty, and the faithful transmission of religious responsibilities across generations.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ibri</span><p>passing over; being angry; being with young<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ibri</span><p>(<i>Hebrew</i>), a Merarite Levite of the family of Jaaziah, (<a href="/1_chronicles/24-27.htm">1 Chronicles 24:27</a>) in the time of David.
