Zelophehad
Tsᵉlophchad is a personal name referring to a specific Israelite male from the tribe of Manasseh, known primarily as the father of five daughters whose legal case impacted Israelite inheritance law. The name itself is unique to this individual in the Hebrew Bible, and its lexical meaning is uncertain, but traditional proposals relate it to notions of 'shade' or 'protection' and 'union' or 'oneness,' though these are etymologically debated.
