Hashabiah

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

This Hashabiah entry refers to the Levite repairing a section of Jerusalem's wall in Nehemiah 3, not to the chief Levite, tribal officer, or genealogical figure of the same name. He belongs to the practical labor of restoring the city after exile. First appears in Neh 3:17.1

AI summary: This Hashabiah matters because his single cross reference places him directly in the hands-on work of rebuilding Jerusalem. The entry helps give the restoration narrative human scale by preserving the names of individual workers and their contributions. Taken together, the material presents this Hashabiah as a Levite participant in the rebuilding of the city.1
