Maaseiah

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

This Maaseiah entry refers to one of the sons of Harim named in Ezra 10:21, not to the many other figures of the same name across Judah's history. He belongs to the restored community's difficult process of covenant correction after exile. First appears in Ezra 10:21.1

AI summary: This Maaseiah matters because his single cross reference places him among those publicly identified in Ezra's response to unlawful marriages. The entry shows how specific and personal covenant renewal became in the restored community. Taken together, the material presents this Maaseiah as one of the individuals included in post-exilic reform.1
