Amzi

Meaning: strong · Male · 1 cross reference

This Amzi entry refers to a priestly ancestor in Nehemiah's list of Jerusalem residents, not to the Merarite genealogical figure in Chronicles. He belongs to the restored community's rooted sacred presence in the city. First appears in Neh 11:12.1

AI summary: This Amzi matters because his single cross reference places him within the household chain of priests dwelling in Jerusalem after the exile. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the continuity of sacred family presence in the restored city. Taken together, the material presents this Amzi as a priestly family source in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
