Imri

Meaning: speaking; exalting; bitter; a lamb · Male · 1 cross reference

This Imri entry refers to the father of Zaccur the wall-builder in Nehemiah 3, not to the Judahite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 9. He belongs to the family background of Jerusalem's rebuilding effort. First appears in Neh 3:2.1

AI summary: This Imri 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 Imri as a familial source in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
