He is called in the title son of Pethuel, - or, as the LXX., Syr., and versions depen dent upon them read, Betnuel; but this is all that we are expressly told about him: there is not even any statement, such as we possess in the case of Hosea and Amos, for instance, respecting the period at which he lived.

And from the familiarity which he displays with the Temple and the ministrations of the priests (i. 9, I3, 14, 16, ii. 14, 17, iii. 18 b).
