Bible Person

Pedaiah

Meaning: redemption of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Pedaiah entry refers to the father of Joed in Nehemiah 11:7, not to the official in Nehemiah 13:13 or the father of Joel. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 11:7.1

AI summary: This Pedaiah matters because his single cross reference helps define one household within the restored city's settled population. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the picture of Jerusalem being repopulated through remembered families. Taken together, the material presents this Pedaiah as a genealogical figure in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
