Bible Person

Paseah

Meaning: passing over; halting · Male · 1 cross reference

This Paseah entry refers to the father of Jehoiada the repairer in Nehemiah 3:6, not to the Judahite family figure in 1 Chronicles 4:12. He belongs to the family background of Jerusalem's rebuilding effort. First appears in Neh 3:6.1

AI summary: This Paseah matters because his single cross reference survives through his son's direct work on the wall. Even a brief paternal notice helps ground the restoration narrative in remembered households and local responsibility. Taken together, the material presents this Paseah as a familial source in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
