Bible Person

Azur

Meaning: he that assists or is assisted · Male · 1 cross reference

This Azur entry refers to the father of Hananiah the false prophet in Jeremiah, not to the father of Jaazaniah in Ezekiel. He belongs to the background of a prophetic conflict in Jerusalem. First appears in Jer 28:1.1

AI summary: This Azur matters because his single cross reference survives through Hananiah, whose false assurance directly contradicts Jeremiah's word. The entry helps locate that misleading voice within a remembered family identity. Taken together, the material presents this Azur as the familial source behind one of the clearest false-prophet episodes in Judah's final years.1
