Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Iezer, as it is a specific proper noun related to Hebrew genealogies and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Iezer is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name.

Context: • Iezer is a name found in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel. It is specifically mentioned in the context of the descendants of Manasseh, one of the sons of Joseph. In the Book of Numbers, Iezer is listed as one of the sons of Gilead, who was a descendant of Manasseh. This places Iezer within the tribal lineage of Manasseh, which was one of the tribes that settled on the eastern side of the Jordan River.
• Biblical Reference: In Numbers 26:30, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "These were the descendants of Gilead: the Iezerite clan from Iezer, the Helekite clan from Helek."
• The name Iezer signifies the divine assistance or support that is a recurring theme in the narratives of the Israelite tribes, reflecting the belief in God's providential care and intervention in the lives of His people.
• The Iezerites, as descendants of Iezer, would have been part of the larger tribal confederation of Manasseh, contributing to the military and social structure of the Israelite community during their settlement in the Promised Land.
