Bible Person

Hashub

Meaning: esteemed; numbered · Male · 1 cross reference

This Hashub entry refers to the man associated with repairs near Benjamin and Azariah's house in Nehemiah 3:23, not to the covenant signatory or the worker in verse 11. He belongs to the practical labor of restoring Jerusalem after exile. First appears in Neh 3:23.1

AI summary: This Hashub matters because his single cross reference places him directly in the hands-on work of rebuilding the city. The entry helps give the restoration narrative human scale by preserving the names of individual workers and their specific sections. Taken together, the material presents this Hashub as a participant in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
