(Heb. Yitshar', יַצְהָר , oil, as often; Sept. Ι᾿σσαάρ, Ι᾿σαάρ ), the second son of Kohath (son of Levi), and father of three sons (Exodus 6:18; Exodus 6:21; Numbers 16:1; 1 Chronicles 6:2; 1 Chronicles 6:18; 1 Chronicles 6:38; 1 Chronicles 23:12; 1 Chronicles 23:18). In Numbers 3:19, his name is Anglicized "Izehar." His descendants are called IZHARITES (Heb. Yitshari', יַצְהָרַי; Sept. Ι᾿σσααρί, Ι᾿σσαρί, Ι᾿σσαάρ [Numbers 3:27; 1 Chronicles 24:22; 1 Chronicles 26:23; 1 Chronicles 26:29, in the first of which passages it is Anglicized "Izeharites"]). B.C. post 1856. (See ZOHAR).

"In 1 Chronicles 6:22, Alminiadab is substituted for Izhar, as the son of Kohath and father of Korah, in the line of Samuel. This, however, must be an accidental. error of the scribe, as in 1 Chronicles 6:38, where the same genealogy is repeated, Izhar appears again in his right place. The Codex Alex. in 1 Chronicles 6:22 reads Izhar in place of Amminadab, and the Aldine and Complut. read Amminadab between Izhar and Kore, making another generation. But these are probably only corrections of the text. (See Burrington, Geneal. Of the O.T.)" (Smith).
