Maaseiah

Meaning: the work of the Lord · Male · 2 cross references

This Maaseiah entry refers to the father of Neriah and grandfather of Seraiah and Baruch's family line in Jeremiah. He belongs to the background of one of the prophetic book's most important scribal and diplomatic households. First appears in Jer 32:12.1

AI summary: This Maaseiah matters because his cross references place him at the head of the family line that produces Baruch's brother Seraiah and, by wider association, the household closely tied to Jeremiah's ministry. Even when he appears only genealogically, the line carries weight because of its later prophetic service. Taken together, the material presents this Maaseiah as an ancestral source for a family deeply connected to Jeremiah's world.1
