Igal
yig.al is used as a personal name in genealogical, tribal, and warrior-list contexts.
The attested form functions consistently as a personal name: it identifies a man by his father and tribe in Numbers 13:7, a man from Zobah in 2 Samuel 23:36, and a son within a genealogy in 1 Chronicles 3:22.
