Shaphan, father of Jaazaniah

Shaphan, father of Jaazaniah, is the man identified in Ezekiel as Jaazaniah’s father. He is named in at least one verse, in the book of Ezekiel: Ezekiel 8:11.

In that passage, Jaazaniah son of Shaphan stands among seventy men from the elders of Israel. The text says that each man holds a censer and that the odor of incense rises. Beyond this identification through Jaazaniah, the supplied passage gives no further details about Shaphan himself.
