Language

che.zir is used as a proper name in a priestly allotment and in a list of names.

The attested forms function as a proper name: in 1 Chronicles 24:15 it identifies the recipient of a numbered allotment, while Nehemiah 10:21 places the name within a list.

Senses in use

  1. Proper name in allotment and name list · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 24:15, the form names the one to whom the seventeenth fell; the APB renders, "The seventeenth fell to Hezir and the eighteenth to Happizzez." In Nehemiah 10:21, the form occurs in a sequence of names, where the APB renders, "Meshezabel, Zadok, Jaddua," and does not clearly isolate this term.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Chronicles 24:15, the APB explicitly includes "Hezir" in the allotment statement. In Nehemiah 10:21, its whole-verse list, "Meshezabel, Zadok, Jaddua," does not visibly isolate the term despite its presence in the original-language data.
