Heber

Meaning: one that passes; anger · Male · 1 cross reference

This Heber entry refers to one of the heads of families of the Gadites in 1 Chronicles 5, not to the Benjaminite or Judahite figures of the same name. He belongs to the remembered leadership of the eastern tribes. First appears in 1 Chr 5:13.1

AI summary: This Heber matters because his single cross reference places him among the heads of households through whom Gad's identity is preserved east of the Jordan. The entry helps show that tribal memory in that region was carried by named leaders with local importance. Taken together, the material presents this Heber as a chief within Gad's preserved structure.1
