Bible Person

Hodijah

Male · 1 cross reference

This Hodijah entry refers to the Levite who seals the covenant in Nehemiah 10:18, distinct from the similarly named signatory in verse 13. He belongs to the restored community's public recommitment to God's law after exile. First appears in Neh 10:18.1

AI summary: This Hodijah matters because his single cross reference again shows how the covenant list preserves multiple ordinary names within one communal act of obedience. The specification that he is a Levite also ties the renewal to worship leadership. Taken together, the material presents this Hodijah as a Levitical participant in covenant renewal.1
