Bible Person

Amariah

Meaning: the Lord says; the integrity of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Amariah entry refers to a post-exilic individual named in Ezra's marriage-reform list, not to the priestly and Jerusalem-resident figures of the same name. He belongs to the restored community's difficult process of repentance. First appears in Ezra 10:42.1

AI summary: This Amariah matters because his single cross reference places him among those publicly named in Ezra's response to unlawful marriages after the exile. The entry shows that covenant restoration involved direct moral accountability as well as public rebuilding. Taken together, the material presents this Amariah as one of the individuals drawn into post-exilic correction.1
