Bible Person

Maaseiah

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

This Maaseiah entry refers to a Benjaminite ancestor in Nehemiah 11:7 and the father of Kolaiah, not to the many other figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 11:7.1

AI summary: This Maaseiah matters because his single cross reference helps define one household within the restored city's settled population. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the picture of Jerusalem being repopulated through remembered families. Taken together, the material presents this Maaseiah as a genealogical figure in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
