Old Testament
Jehohanan
A common name for several Levites and priests serving in the post-exilic temple and administration.
The name Jehohanan, meaning Yahweh is gracious, identifies several individuals in the post-exilic period, including a gatekeeper, a priest, and a leader involved in the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. These men represent the faithful remnant who restored temple service and civil order under Ezra and Nehemiah. Because the name appears in various genealogies and lists, it likely refers to distinct individuals serving in different capacities within the restored community.
