Avaran
ava-ran: A surname of Eleazar, the third son of Mattathias (1 Macc 2:5). It is doubtfully conjectured that Eleazar received this surname from the episode related in 1 Macc 6:43-46; the word may mean the piercer, referring to his stabbing of the elephant. Some connect it with , hur, to be white, and connect it with Eleazar’s white complexion. The Syriac reads Chavran and the Vulgate’s Abaron; the Septuagint in 1 Macc 6:43 gives Sauaran which is an error for Eleazaros auran; Septuagint’s Codex Venetus corrects to auran.
