Ocran

Ocran was a leader of the tribe of Asher during Israel's wilderness journey, appointed to help number the people and lead his tribe.

Overview

Ocran (also spelled Ochran) was the son of Mibsam and served as a prince of the tribe of Asher during the exodus from Egypt. He was chosen by God to assist Moses and Aaron in the census of Israel and to lead his tribe's contingent in the wilderness.

Key Scriptures

"From Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran" (Numbers 1:13, ESV). "Then the tribe of Asher: and the leader of the sons of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran" (Numbers 2:27, NASB). "Of Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran" (Numbers 10:26, NIV).

Application

Ocran's faithful service in a supporting leadership role reminds us that God uses ordinary believers in essential tasks, and faithfulness in assigned responsibilities honors the Lord regardless of prominence.
