Bible Person

Hasrah

Meaning: wanting · Male · 2 cross references

Hasrah is the husband of the prophetess Huldah and a keeper of the wardrobe in Josiah's day, with a variant form preserved in Kings. He belongs to the household setting of one of Judah's crucial reform-era prophetic encounters. First appears in 2 Kgs 22:14.1

AI summary: Hasrah matters because the cross references place his house in the orbit of Huldah's authoritative interpretation during Josiah's reform. Though he is not the central speaker, his office and household location help root that prophetic moment inside the living institutional world of Jerusalem. Taken together, the material presents Hasrah as a court-temple household figure linked to one of the decisive interpretive moments of Judah's renewal.1
