Ozni is a son of Gad in the patriarchal and wilderness genealogies, also represented by the variant name Ezbon. He belongs to the early tribal memory of Gad's house. First appears in Gen 46:16.1
AI summary: Ozni matters because his cross references place him in both the migration-era family list of Jacob's household and the later tribal reckoning in the wilderness.
