The name Micah means "Who is like Yahweh?" and is a common name in the Old Testament, also associated with the prophet Micah. This lineage highlights the continuation of the Reubenite line despite Reuben losing his birthright due to his transgression (<a href="/genesis/49-3.htm">Genesis 49:3-4</a>). The mention of Micah here serves to trace the genealogy and maintain the historical record of the tribes of Israel.<p><b>Reaiah his son</b><br>Reaiah, also known as Reaia, is a less prominent figure in the biblical narrative. His name means "Yahweh has seen." The inclusion of Reaiah in this genealogy underscores the importance of family lineage in Israelite culture, where ancestry was crucial for tribal identity and inheritance rights.
