Bible Person

Jeshua

Meaning: same as Joshua · Male · 1 cross reference

This Jeshua entry refers to the father of Ezer in Nehemiah 3, not to the Levite in Ezra 8, the distributor in 2 Chronicles 31, or the son of Kadmiel in Nehemiah 12. He belongs to the family background of Jerusalem's rebuilding effort. First appears in Neh 3:19.1

AI summary: This Jeshua matters because his single cross reference survives through his son's direct work on the wall. Even a paternal notice helps ground the restoration narrative in remembered households and local responsibility. Taken together, the material presents this Jeshua as a familial source in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
