Jehiel

Male · 1 cross reference

This Jehiel entry refers to one of the priestly men named in Ezra 10:21, not to the temple rulers, warriors, or court tutor of the same name. He belongs to the restored community's process of covenant correction. First appears in Ezra 10:21.1

AI summary: This Jehiel matters because his single cross reference shows that the need for repentance extended into priestly circles as well as the wider population. The entry adds moral seriousness to Ezra's reform by showing that sacred office did not exempt anyone from accountability. Taken together, the material presents this Jehiel as one of the named individuals included in post-exilic correction.1
