Hashabiah

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

This Hashabiah entry refers to the Levite family line in Nehemiah 11 linked with oversight in the restored city, not to the wall-builder, chief Levite, or tribal officer of the same name. He belongs to the post-exilic worship structure of Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 11:22.1

AI summary: This Hashabiah matters because his single cross reference helps support the line of Levites associated with leadership in restored Jerusalem. Even a brief family notice contributes to the continuity of worship oversight after exile. Taken together, the material presents this Hashabiah as a Levitical figure in the post-exilic temple community.1
