Meshillemith

Male · 2 cross references

Meshillemith is a priestly ancestor in the lines preserved by Chronicles and Nehemiah. He belongs to the families that maintain priestly continuity into the restored community. First appears in 1 Chr 9:12.1

AI summary: Meshillemith matters because his cross references place him in parallel genealogical and residential lists that connect remembered priestly descent with actual post-exilic presence in Jerusalem. Such entries help show that restoration involved a reconstituted sacred leadership, not merely rebuilt structures. Taken together, the material presents Meshillemith as a priestly family source in the continuity of temple service.1
