Usage: Jachleel is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a descendant of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Biblical Reference: Jachleel is mentioned in the Book of Genesis, specifically in Genesis 46:16, where the sons of Gad are enumerated as part of the larger family of Jacob that went down to Egypt. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) records this as: "The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli."
Tribal Significance: As a member of the tribe of Gad, Jachleel's lineage is part of the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the multiplication of his descendants.
