Bible Person

Jaazaniah

Meaning: whom the Lord will hear · Male · 1 cross reference

This Jaazaniah entry refers to the son of Azur in Ezekiel 11, not to the son of Shaphan in Ezekiel 8 or the Rechabite leader in Jeremiah 35. He belongs to the corrupt civic leadership condemned in Ezekiel's vision of Jerusalem. First appears in Ezek 11:1.1

AI summary: This Jaazaniah matters because his single cross reference places him among the leaders giving wicked counsel in the city. The entry gives a personal face to the failed political judgment that Ezekiel denounces before Jerusalem's fall. Taken together, the material presents this Jaazaniah as a condemned leader in Ezekiel's vision of the city.1
