Zephon

Male · 2 cross references

Zephon is a son of Gad in the patriarchal and wilderness genealogies. He belongs to the early ancestral framework from which a Gadite clan is remembered. First appears in Gen 46:16.1

AI summary: Zephon matters because his cross references place him in both Jacob's household list and the later tribal reckoning in the wilderness. That pairing helps connect family origin with Israel's emerging tribal structure. Taken together, the material presents Zephon as an ancestral figure in the continuity of Gad's line.1
