Senses in use

  1. Ahiezer's father in identifying phrases · dominant

    In Numbers 1:12 and Numbers 2:25, the proper noun occurs in the phrase identifying Ahiezer among Dan's representatives; the APB renders “Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai” and “Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.” The same identification accompanies Ahiezer as an army leader in Numbers 10:25 and as the presenter of an offering in Numbers 7:66 and Numbers 7:71.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name in paternal identification phrases, using both “son of Ammishaddai” and “the son of Ammishaddai.” These phrases confirm the verse-level identification rather than isolate a lexical English rendering.
