Paltiel
The name "Paltiel" in Hebrew means "God is my deliverance" or "God delivers." This name reflects a deep trust in God's ability to save and guide His people. In the context of the Israelites preparing to enter the Promised Land, Paltiel's name serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the deliverance He has provided throughout their journey. It is a call to trust in God's promises and His power to fulfill them.

son of Azzan
The mention of "Azzan" provides a genealogical link, emphasizing the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite society. Azzan, though not widely known, signifies the continuity of God's covenant through generations. This phrase underscores the biblical theme that God works through families and lineages to accomplish His divine purposes, highlighting the importance of faithfulness across generations.

a leader
The term "leader" here is significant, as it denotes a person of authority and responsibility within the tribe. In the Hebrew context, leaders were expected to be wise, just, and God-fearing, guiding their people according to God's laws. This role was not just administrative but also spiritual, as leaders were to model faithfulness and obedience to God. Paltiel's designation as a leader indicates his respected position and the trust placed in him by his tribe.

from the tribe of Issachar
The tribe of Issachar is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its wisdom and understanding of the times (1 Chronicles 12:32). Issachar's descendants were often seen as insightful and discerning, able to provide guidance and counsel. This phrase highlights the unique characteristics and contributions of each tribe within the nation of Israel, reminding us of the diversity and unity within the body of God's people. The tribe of Issachar's reputation for wisdom would have been a valuable asset in the leadership and decision-making processes as the Israelites prepared to settle in the Promised Land.
