Nethanel
ne.tan.el is a personal name used for men named in genealogies, leadership, worship, and community lists.
The form identifies men named in tribal and family records, with the most concentrated attestation naming Nethanel son of Zuar in Issachar’s leadership and offerings. Other occurrences place men of this name among priests, Levites, genealogical lists, teachers, and post-exilic community records.

The Proper Noun form identifies individuals within lists and role descriptions. In Numbers 2:5 the APB renders Nethanel son of Zuar as leader of Issachar, and in Numbers 7:18 it renders him presenting an offering; in 1 Chronicles 15:24, the same form occurs among priests who blew trumpets before the ark.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the form as “Nethanel” in personal names and lists, sometimes adding relational or role language such as “son of Zuar” or “the leader of Issachar.” Those additions reflect the verse’s wider clause rather than necessarily the term alone.
