Bible Person

Jeremiah

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

This Jeremiah entry refers to the father of Jaazaniah among the Rechabites, not to the warriors named in 1 Chronicles 12 or to the prophet himself. He belongs to the family background of a community remembered for obedience and distinct communal practice. First appears in Jer 35:3.1

AI summary: This Jeremiah matters because his single cross reference stands behind the Rechabite episode, where inherited discipline and loyalty become a prophetic contrast to Judah's disobedience. Even a paternal notice helps locate that testimony within a real household tradition. Taken together, the material presents this Jeremiah as a familial source in the background of the Rechabites.1
