Zechariah

Meaning: same as Zachariah · Male · 1 cross reference

This Zechariah entry refers to the man standing beside Ezra in Nehemiah 8:4, not to the prophet, priest, or other namesakes elsewhere. He belongs to the public setting in which the law is read to the restored community. First appears in Neh 8:4.1

AI summary: This Zechariah matters because his single cross reference places him visibly beside Ezra during the reading of the law.

Taken together, the material presents this Zechariah as a supporting figure in the public reading of Scripture.1
