Overview
Imrah was a descendant of Asher, one of Jacob's twelve sons, and is listed among the heads of families in the tribe of Asher during the wilderness period and settlement of Canaan. While not a prominent biblical figure, his inclusion in genealogical records demonstrates God's meticulous accounting of His covenant people and the continuation of the tribal divisions throughout Israel's history.
Key Scriptures
"The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister" (1 Chronicles 7:30, ESV). While Imrah is listed in some genealogies, the primary genealogical record emphasizes the broader tribal structure: "These are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons" (Exodus 1:1, ESV).
Application
Remember that God values every member of His people and maintains a complete record of His family, reminding us that our lives matter within God's eternal plan regardless of how prominently we feature in human history.
