Bible Person

Noadiah

Meaning: witness · Male · 1 cross reference

This Noadiah entry refers to the Levite in Ezra 8:33, not to the false prophetess in Nehemiah 6:14. The same name is attached to very different figures in the post-exilic books, so the page is intentionally narrow and tied to the temple-accountability scene in Ezra. First appears in Ezra 8:33.1

AI summary: This Noadiah matters because his single cross reference places him among those entrusted with receiving valuable temple offerings in Jerusalem. The entry shows that the restored community treated sacred resources with named accountability and Levitical care. Taken together, the material presents this Noadiah as a Levite steward in the post-exilic temple system.1
