Meaning: Tobijah · Male · 2 cross references
This Tobiah entry refers to a family name in the post-exilic lists of uncertain genealogy, not to the Ammonite opponent of Nehemiah. It belongs to the restored community's difficult work of establishing legitimate descent. First appears in Ezra 2:60.1
AI summary: This Tobiah matters because his cross references place the name among those unable to prove their ancestral house clearly after the exile. The entry highlights how central lineage and verifiable belonging were in the rebuilding of communal identity. Taken together, the material presents this Tobiah as a family name illustrating the fragile edge between return and recognized inclusion.1
