Paltiel

Paltiel son of Azzan was the leader appointed from the tribe of Issachar to assist in the division of the land of Canaan among the tribes after the conquest (Numbers 34:26). He served on the committee of tribal representatives that, together with Eleazar the priest and Joshua, supervised the allotment of territorial portions to the nine and a half tribes west of the Jordan. Paltiel appears only in this administrative context and no further information about him is recorded.
