Bible Person

Rechab

Meaning: square; chariot with team of four horses · Male · 1 cross reference

This Rechab entry refers to the father of Malchiah in Nehemiah 3:14, not to the Rechabite line elsewhere in Scripture. He belongs to the family background of one of Jerusalem's rebuilding leaders. First appears in Neh 3:14.1

AI summary: This Rechab matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a district ruler repairing part of the wall. Even a brief paternal notice helps ground the restoration narrative in remembered households and local responsibility. Taken together, the material presents this Rechab as a familial source in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
