Bukki son of Jogli
Bukki is identified as the son of Jogli, which provides a genealogical context. In biblical times, lineage was crucial for establishing identity and authority. The name "Bukki" may mean "wasting" or "emptying," which could reflect a characteristic or prophetic aspect of his role. The mention of his father, Jogli, helps to situate Bukki within the tribal and familial structures of Israel, emphasizing the importance of heritage and continuity in leadership roles.

a leader from the tribe of Dan
The tribe of Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Dan, the fifth son of Jacob and Bilhah. Dan's territory was located in the northern part of Israel, which later became associated with idolatry (Judges 18). As a leader, Bukki would have been responsible for representing his tribe in the division of the Promised Land, a task requiring wisdom and integrity. The role of a leader in this context underscores the importance of tribal leadership in maintaining order and ensuring the fair distribution of land. The tribe of Dan's later history of idolatry contrasts with the responsibility entrusted to Bukki, highlighting the ongoing struggle between faithfulness and apostasy in Israel's history.
