Jedaiah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Jedaiah is mentioned in 1Ch 9:10, Neh 11:10, and Neh.12.6,19 as a priest who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. In 1Chronicles 9 and Nehemiah 11, he is listed among the priests who settled in Jerusalem, indicating his role in reestablishing the temple worship and the spiritual life of the community. Neh 12:6 identifies him as one of the priests who returned with Zerubbabel, the first group of exiles to return to Jerusalem. In Neh 12:19, Jedaiah is mentioned as the head of a priestly family during the time of Joiakim, the high priest. These references suggest that Jedaiah and his descendants played a significant role in the priestly duties and the restoration of temple worship in the post-exilic period.
