Zichri

IzharEnglish

A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Exo.6.21.

Zichri was a Levite mentioned in the genealogy of the Kohathites in Exodus 6. He was the son of Izhar and the grandson of Kohath, making him a member of one of the principal Levitical families. The Kohathites were responsible for carrying the most sacred items of the tabernacle during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. As a Levite, Zichri would have been part of the tribe dedicated to assisting the priests and maintaining the tabernacle.
