Zichri

Meaning: that remembers; that is a man · Male · 1 cross reference

This Zichri entry refers to the father of Joel in Nehemiah 11:9, not to the Benjaminite, priestly, or military namesakes elsewhere. He belongs to the family background of restored Jerusalem's leadership. First appears in Neh 11:9.1

AI summary: This Zichri matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a local leader in the repopulated city. Even a brief paternal notice helps ground restored Jerusalem in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Zichri as a familial source in the post-exilic community.1
