Hanan
A name shared by several individuals in the Old Testament, including a Benjamite, a temple official, and a priest.
The name Hanan appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, referring to multiple distinct individuals. These include a descendant of Benjamin, a leader of the people who sealed the covenant in Nehemiah's time, and a man of God whose sons had a chamber in the temple. Because the name is used for several different figures across the historical books, it represents a common name among the post-exilic community and those serving in the temple.
