Bible Person
Meaning: the salvation of the Lord · Male · 2 cross references
Hoshaiah is remembered as the father of Jezaniah in the troubled aftermath of Jerusalem's fall. He appears through a family line connected to the fearful, defiant decisions taken after the Babylonian conquest. First appears in Jer 42:1.1
AI summary: Hoshaiah matters because the cross references place his house behind Jezaniah in the tense episodes where the remnant resists Jeremiah's counsel and turns toward Egypt. Though Hoshaiah himself does not act, his preserved name anchors these decisions in a real family setting. Taken together, the material presents Hoshaiah as the paternal background to a figure involved in Judah's last acts of post-collapse disobedience.1
