Ohad

אֹהַד/OH-had/

Power

Summary

Ohad was a son of Simeon who went down to Egypt with Jacob, though his line apparently did not continue as a distinct clan.

Identity

Ohad was the third son of Simeon listed in Genesis and Exodus, making him a grandson of Jacob. He is included among the seventy who went down to Egypt with Jacob. Notably, Ohad's name is absent from the later lists of Simeonite clans in Numbers and 1 Chronicles, suggesting either that his line died out or was absorbed into another clan. The Syriac version of 1 Chronicles does include a variant of his name.
