Heman the Ezrahite information


Heman the Ezrahite (Hebrew: הֵימָן הָאֶזְרָחִי‎ Hēmān hā’Ezrāḥī) is the author of Psalm 88 in the Hebrew Bible, according to the Psalm's colophon.

B. Bava Batra connects the name Heman to the semitic root אמנ (ʔ-m-n) meaning "trusted,"[1] while CYDA speculates it is from נתן (n-t-n) and means "given."[2] It is found sixteen times in the New International Version of the Bible.[3] The ethnonym is sometimes understood to mean "of Zerah," with the aleph prosthetic,[4] to mean "of Ezrah," or, alternatively, to mean "the native" who founded a tradition of bards.[5]

Heman the Ezrahite may be one of the three Levites assigned by King David to be ministers of music. This Heman was a grandson of Samuel the prophet[6] who went on to become King David's seer and to have fourteen sons and three daughters.[7]
