Bible Person

Meshezabeel

Male · 1 cross reference

This Meshezabeel entry refers to the father of Berechiah in Nehemiah 3:4, not to the father of Pethahiah or the covenant signer of the same name. He belongs to the family background of Jerusalem's rebuilding effort. First appears in Neh 3:4.1

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