Bible Person

Joiarib

Meaning: chiding · Male · 1 cross reference

This Joiarib entry refers to a Judahite ancestor in Nehemiah 11:5 and the father of Adaiah, not to the man of understanding in Ezra 8:16. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 11:5.1

AI summary: This Joiarib matters because his single cross reference helps locate one Judahite household within the restored city's settled population. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the picture of Jerusalem being repopulated through remembered families. Taken together, the material presents this Joiarib as a genealogical figure in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
