Josiphiah is the father of Shelomith in Ezra 8:10 and belongs to the family background of one of the groups returning with Ezra. First appears in Ezra 8:10.1
AI summary: Josiphiah matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a returnee leader in Ezra's caravan. Even a brief paternal notice helps keep the restoration story rooted in remembered households rather than anonymous totals. Taken together, the material presents Josiphiah as a familial source in the return from exile.1
