Person
Joiarib
post-exilic figure
Post-exilic figure named in Ezra and Nehemiah as either a leading man among those returning from Babylon or the head of a priestly family.
Who or what is this?
The name Joiarib appears in both and among those who returned from exile. In Ezra 8, Joiarib is named among the leading men Ezra summoned to before the journey to . In Nehemiah 11 and 12, a Joiarib appears as the head of a priestly division or a leading priestly family among those resettled in Jerusalem. Whether these references point to a single individual or multiple men of the same name is uncertain; the biblical text presents him as a figure of some standing among the returned community.
