Ariel

a'-ri-el ('ariy'el or 'ari'el, "lioness of God"): But the word occurs in Eze 43:15-16, and is there translated in the Revised Version (British and American) "ALTAR HEARTH."

See a list of verses on ARIEL in the Bible.

(1) According to the Revised Version (British and American) a man of Moab whose two sons were slain by David's warrior Benaiah the son of Jehoiada (2Sa 23:20; 1Ch 11:22). Here the King James Version translates "two lionlike men of Moab."

(2) A name applied to Jerusalem (Isa 29:1-2,7). The many explanations of the name are interesting, but mainly conjectural.

See also the McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia.

(3) One of the members of the delegation sent by Ezra to the place Casiphia, to secure temple ministers for his expedition to Jerusalem (Ezr 8:16).
