Heber

Meaning: one that passes; anger · Male · 1 cross reference

This Heber entry refers to a Benjaminite family figure in 1 Chronicles 8:17, not to the Benjaminite in verse 22, the Gadite head, or the Judahite figure in 1 Chronicles 4. He belongs to the compact genealogical material preserving Benjamin's internal branches. First appears in 1 Chr 8:17.1

AI summary: This Heber matters because his single cross reference contributes one more name to Benjamin's densely layered family record. Even a brief genealogical entry helps preserve the continuity and detail of the tribe's internal structure. Taken together, the material presents this Heber as a Benjaminite family figure in the preserved genealogy.1
