STEPBible TIPNR
Jeshua is mentioned in Ezra and Nehemiah as a prominent Levite leader during the post-exilic period. He was among the first group of exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel. Jeshua, along with his fellow Levites, was involved in various aspects of the restoration process, including the rebuilding of the temple, the reading of the Law, and the celebration of religious feasts. He is also listed among the Levites who signed the covenant to follow the Law of God during the time of Nehemiah. Jeshua's leadership and dedication were crucial in reestablishing the spiritual life of the Jewish community after the exile.
