About Ochran
Ochran was an Israelite from the tribe of Asher. He was the father of Pagiel, who was chosen as the leader of the tribe during the Exodus (Num.1.13; 2.27). Pagiel represented Asher in the census (Num.1.13), in the arrangement of the tribal camps (Num.2.27), and in the offerings presented at the dedication of the tabernacle (Num.7.72, 77). He also led the tribe in the order of march (Num.10.26). Ochran's name is mentioned in connection with his son's leadership role, highlighting the importance of family lineage in the tribal structure of Israel.
