Bible Person

Jehiel

Male · 1 cross reference

This Jehiel entry refers to the father of Shechaniah in Ezra 10:2, not to the returnee father in Ezra 8 or the temple and court figures elsewhere. He belongs to the family background of the restored community's reform crisis. First appears in Ezra 10:2.1

AI summary: This Jehiel matters because his single cross reference stands behind Shechaniah's key response to Ezra's grief over unlawful marriages. Even a brief paternal notice helps root that turning point in a remembered household. Taken together, the material presents this Jehiel as a familial source in the setting of post-exilic reform.1
