His mother was Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The tribe of Asher was known for its abundance and prosperity, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a>, which speaks of Asher's food being rich and providing royal delicacies. This tribe settled in the fertile region of Canaan, which corresponds to modern-day northern Israel, known for its olive oil production.<p><b>Imnah:</b><br>Imnah is one of the sons of Asher, and his name means "right hand" or "prosperity." While not much is detailed about Imnah in the biblical narrative, his inclusion in the genealogies underscores the importance of family lineage in Israelite culture. Genealogies served to establish tribal identity and inheritance rights, which were crucial for maintaining the covenant promises given to Abraham.<p><b>Ishvah:</b><br>Ishvah is another son of Asher. His name means "equal" or "level." The mention of Ishvah, like his brothers, highlights the continuity of Asher's lineage. The genealogical records in Chronicles were particularly significant for the post-exilic community, as they sought to re-establish their identity and connection to the land and promises of God.<p><b>Ishvi:</b><br>Ishvi, also a son of Asher, has a name meaning "he resembles" or "he is equal." The repetition of similar names among Asher's sons may reflect common naming practices of the time, where names often carried meanings related to family traits or aspirations. Ishvi's mention in the genealogies serves to reinforce the completeness of Asher's family line.<p><b>Beriah:</b><br>Beriah is another son of Asher, and his name means "in trouble" or "a gift." The name Beriah appears in other genealogies as well, such as in the tribe of Ephraim (<a href="/1_chronicles/7-23.htm">1 Chronicles 7:23</a>), indicating it was a relatively common name. The inclusion of Beriah in the list of Asher's sons emphasizes the importance of each family member in the tribal structure and the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.<p><b>and their sister Serah:</b><br>Serah is noted as the sister of Asher's sons, which is significant as women are not always mentioned in genealogies. Her inclusion may indicate her importance or a notable role within the family. In Jewish tradition, Serah is sometimes associated with wisdom and longevity, and she is said to have played a role in the preservation of Israel's history. Her mention here highlights the value of women in the biblical narrative and their contributions to the unfolding of God's plan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asher.htm">Asher</a></b><br>One of the twelve sons of Jacob, Asher was the eighth son, born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant.
