Eleadah
Divided Kingdom
Tribe of Ephraim
·
H0497
Eleadah was a son of Ephraim and an ancestor of Joshua.
Eleadah was a descendant of Ephraim, listed in the tribal genealogy of 1 Chronicles 7:20 in the line running from Ephraim through a series of ancestors toward Joshua son of Nun. He appears as a link in the chain connecting the tribe's early generations to the famous leader of the conquest. The Chronicler's preservation of this genealogy demonstrates the ongoing importance of ancestral lineage for tribal identity in post-exilic Israel.
