Bible Person

Mattaniah

Meaning: gift · Male · 1 cross reference

This Mattaniah entry refers to the father of Zaccur in Nehemiah 13:13, not to the other post-exilic and reform-era figures of the same name. He belongs to the family background of trustworthy stewardship in restored Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 13:13.1

AI summary: This Mattaniah matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of an official entrusted with the storerooms under Nehemiah. Even a brief paternal notice helps root post-exilic accountability in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Mattaniah as a familial source in Jerusalem's restored administration.1
