Bible Person

Abdi

Meaning: my servant · Male · 1 cross reference

This Abdi entry refers to a post-exilic member of the community implicated in Ezra's marriage-reform list, not to the Levitical figures of the same name. He belongs to the painful moral reckoning of the restored community. First appears in Ezra 10:26.1

AI summary: This Abdi matters because his cross reference places him among those named in Ezra's effort to address unlawful marriages after the return. The entry shows how restoration involved not only rebuilding but also difficult public repentance. Taken together, the material presents this Abdi as one of the individuals caught up in post-exilic covenant correction.1
