ye.da.yah is a proper name borne by individuals identified within a genealogy and a rebuilding account.

The attested form functions as a proper personal name: one bearer appears in a line of descent in 1 Chronicles 4:37, while another is identified by parentage and building activity in Nehemiah 3:10.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in genealogical and narrative identification · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 4:37, the APB renders a descent line ending with “the son of Jedaiah”; in Nehemiah 3:10, it identifies “Jedaiah son of Harumaph” as strengthening a section opposite his house.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Jedaiah” in both verses, once within a genealogy and once in identifying a builder. These renderings confirm the verse-level identification rather than isolate further nuance.
