About Ezbon
Ezbon, also referred to as Ozni, was one of the sons of Gad, the founder of the Israelite tribe of Gad (Gen.46.16; Num.26.16). He was born to Gad during the time the Israelites lived in Egypt. Ezbon became the head of the Oznite clan, one of the clans within the tribe of Gad (Num.26.16). The Oznites were named after him and were counted among the descendants of Gad in the census taken in the wilderness of Sinai (Num.26.15-18).
