Usage: The name Kallai appears in the context of a genealogical record within the Hebrew Bible. Context: Kallai is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as a priestly figure. Specifically, Kallai is listed among the heads of the priestly families during the time of Joiakim, the high priest. This reference is found in Nehemiah 12:9, where Kallai is noted as one of the leaders of the priestly courses.
