Question: who is ethan in the bible?
Answer: Ethan (Hebrew: אֵיתָן, Modern: Eytan / Eitan, Tiberian: ʾÊṯān, "Firm") the Ezrahite, is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It may be that Ethan was a cymbal-player in King David's court. He authored Psalms 89: this Psalm is entitled "a maschil or contemplation of Ethan the Ezrahite".
