Sprung from Judah; son of Mered and Jehudijah; father (founder) of Zanoah (a town in Judah: Joshua 15:34-56). (See JEHUDIJAH.) Jekuthiel means trust in God. The Targum says, "because in his days the Israelites trusted in the God of heaven for 40 years in the wilderness." Mered's marrying Bithiah, Pharaoh's daughter, took place probably before the Exodus. The Portuguese Jews at the sabbath's close invoke Elijah as "having tidings of peace by the hand of Jekuthiel"
