Etsbown
Proper noun, masculine
Ezbon (Hasty, Restoring)

Definition

The Hebrew name Etsbown (H675) is a personal name appearing in two genealogies — as a son of Gad (Genesis 46:16) and as a son of Bela, a grandson of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 7:7). The name possibly derives from a root suggesting quickness or restoration.

Usage & Theological Significance

The name Ezbon appears in the careful genealogical records that trace God's covenant people through the ages. Benjamin's and Gad's descendants are preserved with precision because God does not lose track of His own. Each name in these lists represents a real person — every life known and numbered by the God who calls His sheep by name (John 10:3).
