Who or what is this?
The name Sallai appears in two contexts in . In Nehemiah 11, a Sallai son of Meshullam is listed among the Benjamites who settled in after the walls were rebuilt—one of the prominent men of the tribe chosen by lot to live in the holy city. In Nehemiah 12, Sallai appears in a list of priestly families and their heads during the time of the high priest Joiakim, suggesting either a second individual of the same name or a different role for the same man. No further narrative detail is recorded.
