His name, which can be translated as "My kinsman is Almighty" or "People of the Almighty," reflects a theophoric element, indicating a connection to God, often seen in Hebrew names.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>Ammishaddai is primarily noted as the father of Ahiezer, who was a leader of the tribe of Dan during the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. The tribe of Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, each of which played a significant role in the formation and journey of the Israelite nation.<br><br>1. <b><a href="/numbers/1-12.htm">Numbers 1:12</a> :</b> "from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;"<br> <br> In this passage, Ammishaddai is mentioned in the census of the Israelite tribes. His son, Ahiezer, is identified as the leader of the tribe of Dan, responsible for representing his tribe in the assembly of the leaders of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/numbers/2-25.htm">Numbers 2:25</a> :</b> "On the north side, the divisions of Dan are to camp under their standard, with the leader of the Danites being Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai."<br><br> Here, Ammishaddai is again referenced in the context of the tribal encampment arrangements around the Tabernacle. The tribe of Dan, under the leadership of Ahiezer, is positioned on the north side, indicating their strategic placement and role within the Israelite community.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/numbers/7-66.htm">Numbers 7:66</a> :</b> "On the tenth day Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai, the leader of the Danites, drew near."<br><br> This verse is part of the account of the offerings made by the leaders of the tribes during the dedication of the altar. Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, presents his offering on behalf of the tribe of Dan, highlighting the family's involvement in the religious and communal life of Israel.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/numbers/10-25.htm">Numbers 10:25</a> :</b> "Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out, under their standard, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command."<br><br> In the order of march, the tribe of Dan, led by Ahiezer, is mentioned as the rear guard of all the camps. This position was crucial for the protection and cohesion of the Israelite community during their travels.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>Ammishaddai, though not a prominent figure in terms of narrative detail, is significant as the progenitor of a tribal leader during a formative period in Israel's history. His mention in the context of the census, encampment, offerings, and march order underscores the structured and divinely ordained organization of the Israelite tribes.<br><br>Theologically, the name Ammishaddai reflects the deep-seated belief in the power and presence of God among His people. The inclusion of "Shaddai," a name for God often translated as "Almighty," in Ammishaddai's name, serves as a reminder of the divine authority and protection over the tribes of Israel.<br><br>Ammishaddai's legacy, through his son Ahiezer, contributes to the understanding of the tribal dynamics and leadership roles that were essential for maintaining order and faithfulness during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ammishaddai</span><p>the people of the Almighty; the Almighty is with me<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>People of the Almighty, the father of Ahiezer, who was chief of the Danites at the time of the Exodus (<a href="/numbers/1-12.htm">Numbers 1:12</a>; <a href="/numbers/2-25.htm">2:25</a>).
