STEPBible TIPNR
Helon was an Israelite from the tribe of Zebulun who lived during the time of Moses. He was the father of Eliab, a prominent leader within the tribe (Num 1:9). Eliab was chosen as the leader of the Zebulunites during the census and organization of the Israelite camp in the wilderness (Num 2:7). He also represented his tribe when the leaders brought offerings for the dedication of the tabernacle altar (Num.7.24,29). Additionally, Eliab led the Zebulunites in the order of march when the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai (Num 10:16). Helon's mention in connection with his son Eliab suggests that he was a respected member of the tribe of Zebulun. (Num 1:9; 2.7; 7.24,29; 10.16).
