Bible Person

Ammiel

Meaning: the people of God · Male · 1 cross reference

This Ammiel entry refers to the spy from the tribe of Dan who brings back a fearful report, not to the son of Obed-edom. He belongs to the wilderness generation's crisis of trust. First appears in Num 13:12.1

AI summary: This Ammiel matters because his single cross reference places him among the scouts whose report deepens Israel's rebellion at the border of promise. The entry therefore belongs to one of the defining failures of the wilderness generation. Taken together, the material presents this Ammiel as a participant in the fearful response that delays Israel's entry into the land.1
