Brown-Driver-Briggs אֲחִיהוּד proper name, masculine prince of Asher Numbers 34:27; (brother of majesty, compare הוֺד, אֲבִיהוּד; see also אֲחִיחֻד), Topical Lexicon Biblical context Achihud appears once in the canonical text, in the record of the leaders appointed to oversee the division of Canaan. “from the tribe of the Asherites, Ahihud son of Shelomi.” (Numbers 34:27). His name is listed alongside prominent men such as Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the chiefs from the other tribes who were charged with ensuring that the land inheritance would be settled precisely as the LORD had spoken through Moses (Numbers 34:17–28). Role in the tribal allotment 1. Representative head of Asher. Achihud’s inclusion among the land-survey commission indicates that he was recognized by both the nation and God as the legitimate leader of his tribe at the threshold of conquest. Historical significance The tribe of Asher would settle in the fertile north-western coastal region, noted for its olive groves and agricultural abundance (Deuteronomy 33:24). Achihud’s oversight meant that Asher’s borders—later running from Carmel to Sidon—were recognized and respected by the other tribes. The stability arising from such clear demarcation contributed to Israel’s cohesion during the early years in the land and provided the framework for later tribal identity in the period of the Judges. Ministry relevance 1. Faithful stewardship. Achihud’s quiet but essential duty exemplifies the significance Scripture places on administrative faithfulness. While less celebrated than warriors or prophets, officials who handle practical matters under God’s direction are indispensable to the life of His people (1 Corinthians 12:28). Lessons for believers • God values integrity in administrative service; leaders must handle communal resources with transparency and accountability (2 Corinthians 8:20–21).
