The "man of God" (i.e. a prophet, one not his own; having parted with all right in himself, to be wholly God's: De 33:1, Moses; Elisha, 2Ki 4:7; Timothy, 2Ti 3:17). Father of Hanan, in the chamber of whose sons Jeremiah (2Ti 4:22) met the Rechabites; as consecrated by its association with his name, it was a fit scene for the divine communication.

A 'man of God,' father of Hanan, whose name is mentioned in connexion with Jeremiah's interview with the Rechabites (Jer 35:4).
