<p> ''''' ib´zan ''''' ( אבצן , <i> ''''' 'ibhcān ''''' </i> ): The 10th judge of Israel. His city is given as Bethlehem (whether of Judah or Zebulun is not stated). He judged Israel 7 years, and when he died he was buried in his native place. The only personal details given about him in the Biblical narrative are that he had 30 sons and a like number of daughters. He sent all of his sons "abroad" for wives and brought husbands from "abroad" for all his daughters. The exact meaning of <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' ḥūc ''''' </i> , "abroad," is mere matter of speculation, but the great social importance of the man and, possibly, alliances among tribes, are suggested in the brief narrative ( Judges 12:8-10 ). Jewish tradition identifies Ibzan with [[Boaz]] of Bethlehem-Judah (Talmud, <i> '''''Bābhā'''''' </i> , <i> '''''Bathrā'''''' </i> , 91 <i> a </i> ). </p> | <p> ''''' ib´zan ''''' ( אבצן , <i> ''''' 'ibhcān ''''' </i> ): The 10th judge of Israel.

<p> (Heb. Ibtsan', אַבְצָן, from אָבִוֹ, to ''Shine,'' hence ''Illustrious;'' but accord. to Gesen. perh. ''Of Tin,'' or ''Grievous,'' from the Chald.; Sept. | <p> (Heb.

'''''Ἀβαισσάν''''' ; Joseph. '''''Ἀψάνης''''' , Ant. 5, 7, 13), the tenth "judge of Israel" ( Judges 12:8-10). He was of Bethlehem probably the Bethlehem of Zebulun (so Michaelis and Hezel), and not of Judah (as [[Josephus]] says). He governed seven years, B.C. 1249-1243. The prosperity of Ibzan is marked by the great number of his children (thirty sons and thirty daughters), and his wealth by their marriages-for they were all married. Some have held, with little probability, that Ibzan was the same with Boaz.-Kitto. </p> | ||
