Aher

Male · 1 cross reference

Aher is a difficult genealogical entry associated with the line of Benjamin in Chronicles. The dataset preserves the name as a person record within a terse and textually challenging family notice. First appears in 1 Chr 7:12.1

AI summary: Aher matters because his single cross reference stands in one of the compressed places where genealogical memory is preserved even when the textual tradition is not straightforward. The entry still contributes to the effort to keep tribal descent intact. Taken together, the material presents Aher as a challenging but preserved figure in the genealogical framework of Israel.1
