This name reflects the biblical tradition of naming individuals in a way that signifies divine action or attributes.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b> <br>Jahziel is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the sons of Naphtali, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob, also known as Israel. This makes Jahziel one of the patriarchs of the tribe of Naphtali. The primary reference to Jahziel is found in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel.<br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/46-24.htm">Genesis 46:24</a> :</b> "The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem."<br> <br>2. <b><a href="/numbers/26-48.htm">Numbers 26:48</a> :</b> "These were the descendants of Naphtali by their clans: The Jahzeelite clan from Jahzeel, the Gunite clan from Guni."<br><br>3. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/7-13.htm">1 Chronicles 7:13</a> :</b> "The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shallum—the descendants of Bilhah."<br><br><b>Tribal Significance</b> <br>Jahziel, as a progenitor of the Jahzeelite clan, played a role in the formation of the tribal identity of Naphtali. The tribe of Naphtali was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, each of which descended from one of Jacob's sons. The Jahzeelites, as a clan within Naphtali, contributed to the population and military strength of the tribe, which settled in the northern region of the Promised Land, an area known for its fertile land and strategic location.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context</b> <br>The genealogical records in which Jahziel is mentioned serve several purposes in the biblical narrative. They establish the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, particularly the promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. The listing of Jahziel among the sons of Naphtali underscores the continuity of God's covenant with Israel through successive generations.<br><br>Theologically, the mention of Jahziel and his descendants highlights the importance of family and lineage in the biblical worldview. It reflects the belief that God's blessings and purposes are often realized through familial lines and that each individual and clan has a role in the unfolding of divine history.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Legacy</b> <br>While Jahziel himself is not a prominent figure in terms of narrative detail, his inclusion in the genealogies underscores the value placed on heritage and identity within the Israelite community. The Jahzeelites, as part of the tribe of Naphtali, would have participated in the religious, cultural, and social life of Israel, contributing to the collective identity of God's chosen people.<br><br>In summary, Jahziel's mention in the Bible, though brief, is part of a larger tapestry that illustrates the faithfulness of God to His people and the importance of each tribe and clan in the history of Israel.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jahziel</span><p>(<i>whom God allots</i>), the same as <a href="../j/jahzeel.htm">JAHZEEL</a>.
