Old Testament
Lael
A Levite and father of Eliasaph, who served as the leader of the Gershonite clan during the wilderness journey.
Lael is mentioned in Numbers 3:24 as the father of Eliasaph, the leader of the Gershonite branch of the Levites. His significance lies in his role within the genealogical structure of the tribe of Levi, which was tasked with the care of the tabernacle's curtains and coverings. The text identifies him solely to establish the lineage of the Gershonite leadership during the census and organization of the Israelites.
