Besodeiah

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

Besodeiah is the father of Meshullam, one of the men involved in repairing Jerusalem's wall. He belongs to the family background of the restoration work under Nehemiah. First appears in Neh 3:6.1

AI summary: Besodeiah matters because his single cross reference survives through his son's participation in rebuilding the old gate. Even a paternal mention helps root Jerusalem's restoration in named households and inherited identity. Taken together, the material presents Besodeiah as a familial source within the wall-building community.1
