Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Okran, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The name Okran appears in the context of genealogical records within the Book of Numbers. It is specifically mentioned as the father of Pagiel, a leader of the tribe of Asher.

Context: Okran is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Numbers. He is identified as the father of Pagiel, who was a leader of the tribe of Asher during the Israelites' wilderness journey. The tribe of Asher was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Asher, the eighth son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Okran's mention is brief and primarily serves to establish the lineage and leadership structure of the tribe of Asher during the census and organization of the Israelite camp.

In Numbers 1:13, the Berean Standard Bible states: "from Asher, Pagiel son of Okran." This reference is part of the larger narrative detailing the leaders of each tribe who were appointed to assist Moses and Aaron in conducting a census of the Israelite community. The role of these leaders was significant in maintaining order and organization among the tribes as they journeyed through the wilderness.

Okran's name, meaning "troubler," may reflect a characteristic or notable event associated with his life or lineage, although the biblical text does not provide further details about his personal history or actions. The genealogical mention underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal affiliation in the social and religious structure of ancient Israel.
