Bible Person

Meshullam

Male · 1 cross reference

This Meshullam entry refers to a gatekeeping or priestly figure in Nehemiah 12:25, not to the many genealogical, rebuilding, and reform-era figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the restored liturgical structure of Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 12:25.1

AI summary: This Meshullam matters because his single cross reference places him within the ordered personnel serving the temple and its gates after the exile. The entry helps show that restored worship depended on many named roles, including those often noticed only briefly. Taken together, the material presents this Meshullam as a temple servant in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
