Eleazar

Meaning: help of God · Male · 3 cross references

This Eleazar entry refers to the Merarite Levite in 1 Chronicles, not Eleazar son of Aaron or Eleazar son of Dodo. He belongs to the internal family structure of Levitical service. First appears in 1 Chr 23:21.1

AI summary: This Eleazar matters because the cross references present him within the Merarite family records that organize Levitical responsibilities. Even where a line lacks many descendants, the name is preserved because sacred service depends on remembered households and inheritance patterns. Taken together, the material presents this Eleazar as a Merarite Levite whose place contributes to the continuity of temple service.1
