Jedaiah
A name shared by several priests and leaders throughout the post-exilic period of Israelite history.
The name Jedaiah refers to multiple individuals in the Old Testament, most notably a priest who returned from Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel and a leader involved in the rebuilding of the temple. Scripture identifies Jedaiah as both a priestly house and the name of specific men serving during the restoration of Jerusalem. These figures highlight the continuity of the Levitical priesthood and the administrative organization of the returning exiles.
