i.ti.el is a proper personal name used in a Benjaminite lineage and for an addressee of Agur's utterance.

The attested use is as a personal name: it identifies a man within a Benjaminite descent line and names the recipient addressed in Agur's utterance.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in lineage and address · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged as a proper noun. In Nehemiah 11:7, the form occurs in the descent sequence naming Maaseiah as son of Ithiel; the APB renders the line as including “son of Ithiel son of Jeshaiah.” In Proverbs 30:1, the form occurs twice in the address of Agur's utterance; the APB renders it “to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly as “Ithiel” in both verses, once within a genealogy and twice in an address. Its wording confirms the verse contexts rather than supplying a further lexical meaning.
