Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָב (av, meaning "father") and עֶזְרִי (Ezri, meaning "help" or "aid"). The term collectively refers to the descendants of Abiezer, a member of the tribe of Manasseh.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Abiezrite," as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a particular family lineage within the Old Testament context. Usage: The term "Abiezrite" is used in the Old Testament to denote individuals belonging to the family of Abiezer. It is specifically mentioned in the context of Gideon, who was an Abiezrite. Context: The Abiezrites were a clan within the tribe of Manasseh, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Abiezer, the progenitor of this clan, was a descendant of Manasseh through Gilead. The Abiezrites settled in the region of Ophrah, which is associated with the narrative of Gideon, one of the most notable figures from this lineage. Gideon, also known as Jerubbaal, was called by God to deliver Israel from the oppression of the Midianites. The Bible records that Gideon was from the family of Abiezer, as seen in Judges 6:11, "The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites" (BSB). The Abiezrites are also mentioned in Judges 8:2, where Gideon addresses the men of Ephraim, highlighting the role of his family in the victory over the Midianites. The Abiezrites, therefore, hold a significant place in the narrative of Israel's judges, representing a lineage through which God delivered His people.
