Bible Person

Maaseiah

Meaning: the work of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Maaseiah entry refers to a Judahite resident in Nehemiah 11:5, not to the military, priestly, prophetic, and reform-era figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 11:5.1

AI summary: This Maaseiah matters because his single cross reference helps define one household within the restored city's settled population. The entry contributes to the picture of Jerusalem being repopulated through remembered families rather than anonymous numbers alone. Taken together, the material presents this Maaseiah as a post-exilic genealogical figure in Jerusalem.1
