Bible Person

Maaseiah

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

This Maaseiah entry refers to the father of Azariah in Nehemiah 3:23, not to the priests, Levites, officials, and prophets elsewhere with the same name. He belongs to the family background of Jerusalem's rebuilding effort. First appears in Neh 3:23.1

AI summary: This Maaseiah matters because his single cross reference survives through his son's direct work on the wall. Even a paternal notice helps ground the restoration narrative in remembered households and local responsibility. Taken together, the material presents this Maaseiah as a familial source in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
