Bible Person
Meaning: that hears or obeys the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This Shemaiah entry refers to the man named in Ezra 8:13, not to the Simeonite ancestor, the Levitical scribe, the teaching Levite, or the false prophet. He belongs to the remembered company returning from exile. First appears in Ezra 8:13.1
AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference preserves the leadership identity behind one of the groups traveling with Ezra. The entry helps keep the restoration story rooted in named households rather than anonymous totals. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a returnee leader in the post-exilic community.1
