Uzzensheerah

At a Glance

A variant spelling that should point readers to Uzzen-sheerah.

Key Points

• 1 Chronicles 7:24 names Uzzen-sheerah in connection with the descendants of Ephraim
• this row is not a distinct theological term or person.

Description

Uzzensheerah is not a distinct theological concept or biblical person; it is a spelling variant of Uzzen-sheerah, the place named in 1 Chronicles 7:24. The verse lists the location in connection with the Ephraimite genealogy and related town building activity. Because the underlying referent is a place-name, this row should redirect to the canonical Uzzen-sheerah entry rather than stand as a separate theological-term page.

Biblical Context

1 Chronicles 7:24 places Uzzen-sheerah in the Ephraim genealogy context and associates it with town-building activity.

Historical Context

The entry belongs to Israel’s tribal and genealogical record, but Scripture gives no extended historical detail beyond the brief notice.

Jewish and Ancient Context

Genealogical notices in Chronicles often preserve place-names tied to clans, inheritance, and settlement patterns in Israel.

Primary Key Texts

• 1 Chronicles 7:24

Original Language Note

The form reflects a transliteration variant of the Hebrew place-name Uzzen-sheerah.

Theological Significance

The term itself has no doctrinal significance; its value is as a minor biblical place-name within the Chronicler’s record.

Philosophical Explanation

This is a naming and classification issue rather than a theological one: the proper interpretive move is to follow the text’s referent, not force a place-name into a doctrinal category.

Interpretive Cautions

Do not treat Uzzensheerah as a personal name or as a theological doctrine. The Bible gives only a brief geographical-genealogical notice.

Major Views

No major interpretive dispute is central to the entry; the main issue is spelling and category alignment.

Doctrinal Boundaries

This entry should not be used to support doctrinal claims beyond the plain historical notice in the text.

Practical Significance

For readers and search users, the main benefit is correct identification and navigation to the intended biblical place.
