Tahan

Meaning: beseeching; merciful · Male · 1 cross reference

This Tahan entry refers to the ancestor in 1 Chronicles 7:25 and the father of Laadan, not to the Ephraimite clan name in Numbers 26:35. He belongs to the preserved family structure of one of Israel's tribes. First appears in 1 Chr 7:25.1

AI summary: This Tahan matters because his single cross reference carries an Ephraimite line forward through a remembered father-son link. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the continuity and structure of tribal memory. Taken together, the material presents this Tahan as a genealogical figure within Ephraim's line.1
