Jaazaniah

Meaning: whom the Lord will hear · Male · 1 cross reference

This Jaazaniah entry refers to the son of Shaphan in Ezekiel 8, not to the Rechabite leader in Jeremiah 35 or the son of Azur in Ezekiel 11. He belongs to the condemned leadership and idolatrous setting revealed in Ezekiel's temple vision. First appears in Ezek 8:11.1

AI summary: This Jaazaniah matters because his single cross reference places him among those participating in hidden abominations at the temple. The entry gives a personal face to the corruption that Ezekiel exposes at the heart of Judah's religious life. Taken together, the material presents this Jaazaniah as a figure within the exposed idolatry of Jerusalem.1
