Bezaleel

Meaning: in the shadow of God · Male · 1 cross reference

This Bezaleel entry refers to one of the men named in Ezra 10, not to the famous tabernacle craftsman. He belongs to the restored community's difficult process of marriage reform. First appears in Ezra 10:30.1

AI summary: This Bezaleel matters because his single cross reference places a familiar and honored name within Ezra's list of those needing correction. The contrast underscores how post-exilic renewal required honesty and repentance from ordinary members of the community. Taken together, the material presents this Bezaleel as one of the individuals included in covenant reform.1
