a -hı̄´ra ( אחיוע , 'ăḥı̄ra‛ , "brother of evil," or, "my brother is evil"): A man of Naphtali, contemporary with Moses. He is five times mentioned as the son of Enan. He was the representative of his tribe who assisted Moses in the census (Numbers 1:15 ). He was the hereditary "prince" of the tribe; he made the tribal offering (Numbers 2:29; Numbers 7:78; compare Numbers 7:83 ), and was commander of the tribal host when on the march (Numbers 10:27 ).
