Ithiel

Meaning: sign · Male · 1 cross reference

This Ithiel entry refers to a Benjaminite ancestor in Nehemiah 11 and the father of Maaseiah, not to the figure named in Proverbs 30. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 11:7.1

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