Bible Person

Pedaiah

Meaning: redemption of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Pedaiah entry refers to the official in Nehemiah 13:13, not to the father of Joel, the father of Joed, or the father of Zebudah. He belongs to the restored administration entrusted with temple resources. First appears in Neh 13:13.1

AI summary: This Pedaiah matters because his single cross reference places him among those appointed over the storerooms under Nehemiah. The entry helps show that restoration required trustworthy oversight of offerings and supplies, not only rebuilding and worship. Taken together, the material presents this Pedaiah as an administrator in restored Jerusalem.1
