☩Identity
Jogli is mentioned only in Numbers 34:22 as the father of Bukki, who was the prince selected from the tribe of Dan to assist in apportioning the promised land among the Israelite tribes after the conquest. The name means 'led into exile' or 'exiled,' though the reason for this designation is unknown. His son's role as a tribal commissioner indicates that Jogli was a man of standing and influence within Dan, as such representatives were chosen from among the leading families of each tribe.
