Isuah

Male · 2 cross references

Isuah is a son of Asher preserved in the patriarchal and genealogical traditions, distinct from the closely related name-forms found elsewhere. He belongs to the ancestral structure through which the tribe of Asher is remembered. First appears in Gen 46:17.1

AI summary: Isuah matters because the cross references place him within the family branches that carry Asher's identity from Jacob's household into later tribal memory. Even a brief notice like this supports the continuity of the tribe through named ancestral heads. Taken together, the material presents Isuah as an Asherite forefather whose place contributes to the remembered structure of the tribe.1
