Old Testament
Heldai
A Jewish exile who returned from Babylon to Jerusalem, bringing silver and gold for the temple crown.
Heldai was one of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem from Babylon during the time of Zechariah the prophet. He is noted for bringing silver and gold offerings from other exiles, which the Lord commanded to be used to make a crown for the high priest Joshua. His actions represent the faithful participation of the diaspora in the restoration of the temple and the messianic hope.
