STEPBible TIPNR
Uriah is mentioned in Neh.3.4, 21 and Ezr 8:33 as a priest who played a role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall and the restoration of the temple during the post-exilic period. In Nehemiah 3, Uriah is listed among those who repaired sections of the wall, with his name appearing twice, suggesting that he was responsible for repairing two different sections. In Ezr 8:33, Uriah is one of the priests entrusted with the weighing and recording of the temple treasures brought back from Babylon. These references highlight Uriah's involvement in the physical and spiritual restoration of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, both in rebuilding the city's defenses and in ensuring the proper handling of the temple's sacred objects.
