Bible Person

Jeshua

Meaning: same as Joshua · Male · 1 cross reference

This Jeshua entry refers to the son of Kadmiel in Nehemiah 12, not to the Levite in Ezra 8, the father of Ezer, or the distributor in 2 Chronicles 31. He belongs to the post-exilic Levitical structure associated with worship leadership. First appears in Neh 12:24.1

AI summary: This Jeshua matters because his single cross reference places him within the ordered succession of Levites participating in worship after the return. The entry helps show that restored praise and thanksgiving rested on remembered family lines as well as present service. Taken together, the material presents this Jeshua as a Levitical figure in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
