Bible Person

Pelatiah

Meaning: let the Lord deliver; deliverance of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Pelatiah entry refers to a covenant signer in Nehemiah 10:22, not to the Davidic descendant or the Simeonite figure of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the community leadership affirming post-exilic obedience. First appears in Neh 10:22.1

AI summary: This Pelatiah matters because his single cross reference places him among those who formally bind themselves to covenant faithfulness after the exile. The entry helps show that restoration involved public commitment as well as private belief. Taken together, the material presents this Pelatiah as a signer in the renewed covenant community.1
