Bible Person

Eliashib

Meaning: the God of conversion · Male · 1 cross reference

This Eliashib entry refers to the father of Johanan whose chamber is mentioned in Ezra 10:6, not to the priestly-course head or the other reform-list figures. He belongs to the family background of a key post-exilic priestly setting. First appears in Ezra 10:6.1

AI summary: This Eliashib matters because his single cross reference helps identify the chamber associated with Ezra's mourning and withdrawal during the reform crisis. Even a brief paternal notice helps locate that episode within real priestly households and spaces. Taken together, the material presents this Eliashib as a familial source within the setting of Ezra's reform.1
