Bible Person

Azriel

Meaning: same as Asriel · Male · 1 cross reference

This Azriel entry refers to the father of Seraiah in Jeremiah 36, not to the tribal chief or the father of Jerimoth of the same name. He belongs to the court setting in which Jeremiah's scroll is opposed. First appears in Jer 36:26.1

AI summary: This Azriel matters because his single cross reference survives through Seraiah, one of the men sent by King Jehoiakim to seize Jeremiah and Baruch. The entry anchors that hostile court action in a remembered family line. Taken together, the material presents this Azriel as a familial source connected to the royal resistance against Jeremiah's prophetic message.1
