Azaz Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Azaz is mentioned in 1Ch 5:8 as a descendant of Reuben, the eldest son of Israel (or 'Jacob'). He is identified as the father of Bela, who was a leader of the Reubenites. The genealogy in this chapter traces the descendants of Reuben and highlights some of the notable figures within the tribe. Azaz's mention in this context suggests that he was an ancestor of significant individuals within the tribe of Reuben. The Reubenites, along with the tribes of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, settled in the region east of the Jordan River. They were known for their military prowess and played a role in the defense of Israel's borders.
