Usage: Jirijah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: • Jirijah is mentioned in the context of the Levitical genealogies. He is identified as a Levite, specifically a descendant of Merari, one of the three sons of Levi. The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties and temple service in ancient Israel. • In 1 Chronicles 26:31, Jirijah is noted as a leader among the Hebronites, a clan within the tribe of Levi. The passage highlights his role during the reign of King David, where he is entrusted with oversight responsibilities. The text states: "As for the Hebronites: Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites according to their generations by fathers' houses. In the fortieth year of David's reign, a search was made, and there were found among them capable men at Jazer in Gilead." • This reference underscores the administrative and spiritual leadership roles that Jirijah and his family held, contributing to the organization and functioning of the Levitical duties during a significant period in Israel's history.
