[[Thereby]] being defiled, six days before the [[Passover]] (&nbsp;Numbers 9:15; &nbsp;Exodus 40:2-3; &nbsp;Leviticus 8:33), they probably were the men prevented from keeping the second Passover (&nbsp;Numbers 9:6; &nbsp;Numbers 1:46-49; &nbsp;Numbers 26:62; &nbsp;Exodus 38:26).

<p> (Heb. Misphal', מַישָׁאֵל, ''Who'' is ''Like God'' Sept. Μισαήλ ), the name of three men. </p> <p> '''1.''' The eldest of the three sons of [[Uzziel]] (the son of [[Kohath]] and grandson of Levi), and consequently the cousin of Aaron (&nbsp;Exodus 6:22). He, with his brother Elzaphan, at the command of Moses, carried out the bodies of Nadab and Abihu to burial (&nbsp;Leviticus 10:4). B.C. 1657.

The second named of the three Hebrew youths (&nbsp;Daniel 1:6) trained along with Daniel at the [[Babylonian]] court (&nbsp;Daniel 1:11), and promoted to the rank of magi (&nbsp;Daniel 1:19). Having assisted Daniel in solving the dream of [[Nebuchadnezzar]] (&nbsp;Daniel 2:17), they were advanced to civil dignities (&nbsp;Daniel 3:12); but were afterwards cast into the blazing furnace for refusing to worship the royal idol; and, being miraculously delivered from it, they were still more highly honored by the king (&nbsp;Daniel 3:13-30). His Chaldaean name was MESHACH (&nbsp;Daniel 1:7). B.C. cir. 580. </p> <p> '''3.''' One of those (apparently chief Israelites) who supported Ezra on the left hand while reading the law to the people after the captivity (&nbsp;Nehemiah 8:4). B.C. 410. </p>
