Jahzerah

MeshullamEnglish

A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at 1Ch.9.12.

Jahzerah is mentioned in1 Chronicles 9:12as one of the priests who resided in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. He was a descendant of Immer, who was a priest during the time of King David (1 Chronicles 24:14). The text provides no further information about Jahzerah's life or role in the postexilic community. His inclusion in the list of priests suggests that he played a part in reestablishing the temple worship and religious practices in Jerusalem following the return from exile.
