Shelomith

Female · 1 cross reference

This Shelomith entry refers to the son of Josiphiah in Ezra 8:10, not to the royal daughter, the Davidic descendant, the woman in Leviticus 24, or the Levitical descendant. This figure belongs to the family background of one of the groups returning with Ezra. First appears in Ezra 8:10.1

AI summary: This Shelomith matters because this single cross reference supports the identity of a returnee leader in Ezra's caravan. Even a brief filial notice helps keep the restoration story rooted in remembered households rather than anonymous totals. Taken together, the material presents this Shelomith as a returnee figure in the post-exilic community.1
