Maaseiah

Meaning: the work of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Maaseiah entry refers to the man standing beside Ezra in Nehemiah 8:4, not to the priests, Levites, and officials elsewhere with the same name. He belongs to the public setting in which the law is read to the restored community. First appears in Neh 8:4.1

AI summary: This Maaseiah matters because his single cross reference places him visibly beside Ezra during the reading of the law. The entry helps show that covenant renewal after exile was a public act supported by named witnesses and leaders. Taken together, the material presents this Maaseiah as a supporting figure in the public reading of Scripture.1
