Meshullam

Male · 2 cross references

This Meshullam entry refers to a signatory or priestly figure associated with post-exilic covenant and dedication lists, not to the priestly family line already separately overridden. He belongs to the public leadership remembered in Nehemiah's restored Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 10:7.1

AI summary: This Meshullam matters because his cross references place the name in the orbit of covenant commitment and celebratory worship after the exile. Even if the references are list-based rather than narrative, they show Meshullam among those bound up with the community's renewed identity before God. Taken together, the material presents this Meshullam as one of the remembered names in post-exilic public faithfulness.1
