ETHNI ĕth’ nī (אֶתְנִ֥י, LXX Αθανι, gift). An ancestor of Asaph.

The only occurrence of this man’s name is in 1 Chronicles 6:41 where he appears in the genealogy of Asaph the musician. He is of the tribe of Levi through his son Gershom. In a somewhat parallel list in 1 Chronicles 6:21 Jeatherai is recorded as being the son of Zerah instead of Ethni. Both lists apparently have gaps in them, so this problem is easily explained.
