Bible Person

Michael

Meaning: who is like to God · Male · 1 cross reference

This Michael entry refers to the father of Sethur, the spy for Asher in Numbers 13:13, not to the royal, tribal, or post-exilic figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the family background of Israel's spies at Kadesh. First appears in Num 13:13.1

AI summary: This Michael matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of one of the tribal representatives sent to explore Canaan. Even a brief paternal notice helps ground that national moment in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Michael as a familial source in Israel's wilderness testing.1
