Jahdai
Introduction '''Jahdai''' is a biblical figure that according to 1 Chron 2:47, is either a concubine or a descendant of Caleb, son of Hezron. The text is ambiguous on the matter. 1 Chronicles 2:46-48 (Young's Literal Translation): reads: 46And Ephah concubine of Caleb bare Haran, and Moza, and Gazez; and Haran begat Gazez.47And sons of Jahdai: Regem, and Jotham, and Geshem, and Pelet, and Ephah, and Shaaph.48The concubine of Caleb, Maachah, bare Sheber and TirhanahThe name has two possible meanings. The first part is יה (yah), a shortened form of יהוה (YHWH), the name of God; the second part may come from a rare verb הדה (hada), meaning to stretch out one's hand (particularly to handle snakes, to snake-charm). Another possible meaning is "whom Jehovah directs".
