Mattithiah

Male · 1 cross reference

This Mattithiah entry refers to the man standing beside Ezra in Nehemiah 8:4, not to the Korahite official or the man named in Ezra 10:43. 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 Mattithiah 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 Mattithiah as a supporting figure in the public reading of Scripture.1
