Bible Person
Meaning: God is my portion · Male · 1 cross reference
This Hilkiah entry refers to the father of the prophet Jeremiah, not to the Levitical ancestor, gatekeeper-family figure, or participant in Nehemiah 8. He belongs to the priestly background from which Jeremiah's ministry emerges. First appears in Jer 1:1.1
AI summary: This Hilkiah matters because his single cross reference roots Jeremiah's calling in a known priestly family line. Even a simple paternal identification helps frame the prophet's message and suffering within the covenant world of priesthood and temple memory. Taken together, the material presents this Hilkiah as the familial source behind Jeremiah's prophetic ministry.1
