Bible Person
Meaning: God is my father; God is the father · Male · 5 cross references
This Eliab entry refers to the Reubenite son of Pallu and father of Dathan and Abiram, not Jesse's son or the Zebulunite leader. He stands near the center of the family line involved in Korah's rebellion. First appears in Num 16:1.1
AI summary: This Eliab matters because the cross references place his household directly in the line of rebellion that challenges Moses and Aaron. Through Dathan and Abiram, his family becomes part of one of the wilderness generation's most serious acts of resistance to God's appointed leadership. Even where Eliab himself is not the chief actor, the family association is decisive. Taken together, the material presents this Eliab as the Reubenite father whose line is marked by one of Israel's gravest rebellions.1
