He is identified as the son of Ocran and serves as a leader of the tribe of Asher during the Israelites' wilderness journey following their exodus from Egypt.<br><br><b>Tribal Leadership</b><br><br>Pagiel holds the position of a chief or leader among the Asherites, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. His role is significant during the census and organization of the tribes as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. In <a href="/numbers/1-13.htm">Numbers 1:13</a>, Pagiel is listed among the leaders chosen to assist Moses and Aaron in taking a census of the Israelite community: "from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran."<br><br><b>Role in the Census</b><br><br>The census, as described in <a href="/bsb/numbers/1.htm">Numbers 1</a>, is a critical event for the Israelites, as it establishes the number of men eligible for military service. Pagiel's involvement underscores his importance and responsibility within the tribe of Asher. His leadership is further emphasized in <a href="/numbers/2-27.htm">Numbers 2:27-28</a>, where the arrangement of the camp is detailed, and Pagiel is again mentioned as the leader of the Asherites: "The tribe of Asher will camp next to them. The leader of the Asherites is Pagiel son of Ocran."<br><br><b>Offerings for the Tabernacle</b><br><br>Pagiel also plays a role in the dedication of the altar, as recorded in <a href="/bsb/numbers/7.htm">Numbers 7</a>. Each tribal leader presents offerings for the dedication of the altar over twelve days. On the eleventh day, Pagiel brings his offerings, which include silver and gold vessels, grain offerings, and animal sacrifices. <a href="/numbers/7-72.htm">Numbers 7:72-77</a> details his contributions: "On the eleventh day Pagiel son of Ocran, the leader of the Asherites, drew near. His offering was one silver platter weighing 130 shekels, one silver bowl weighing 70 shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering; one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering; one male goat for a sin offering; and two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs a year old, for the peace offering. This was the offering of Pagiel son of Ocran."<br><br><b>Significance</b><br><br>Pagiel's repeated mention in the context of leadership, census, and offerings highlights his prominent role among the Israelites during a formative period in their history. His actions and responsibilities reflect the organized structure and communal dedication of the Israelite tribes as they journeyed through the wilderness under divine guidance. As a leader of the tribe of Asher, Pagiel's contributions to the census and the dedication of the altar demonstrate his commitment to the spiritual and communal life of the Israelite nation.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Pagiel</span><p>prevention, or prayer, of God<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Pagiel</span><p>(<i>God allots</i>) the son of Ocran and chief of the tribe of Asher at the time of the exodus.
