ya.rah is used as a personal name within a genealogy, naming the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri.

The attested use is a personal name in a genealogical sequence: the proper noun identifies the individual fathered by Ahaz and named as father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri in 1 Chronicles 9:42.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in a genealogy · dominant

    In 1 Chronicles 9:42, both proper-noun forms occur in the succession of fathers and sons: Ahaz fathers this named person, who then fathers Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. The APB renders the sequence, "And Ahaz fathered Jarah, and Jarah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Chronicles 9:42, the APB presents the term as "Jarah" twice within a father-to-son genealogy. It confirms the genealogical context rather than supplying a separate lexical definition.
