Bible Person

Jaazaniah

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

This Jaazaniah entry refers to the son of Jeremiah and a chief of the Rechabites, not to the figures in Ezekiel 8 and 11. He belongs to a household remembered for obedience and distinct communal practice. First appears in Jer 35:3.1

AI summary: This Jaazaniah matters because his single cross reference places him within the Rechabite episode, where inherited discipline becomes a prophetic contrast to Judah's disobedience. The entry helps show that faithful communal tradition could still stand within a collapsing society. Taken together, the material presents this Jaazaniah as a Rechabite leader in a significant prophetic testimony.1
