Usage: Jaddua is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Jaddua is a figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the post-exilic period. He is identified as a high priest during the time of Nehemiah. Jaddua is listed among the priests and Levites who returned to Jerusalem following the Babylonian exile. His name appears in the genealogical records of the priestly line, indicating his role in the religious leadership of the Jewish community during the restoration of Jerusalem and the Second Temple. In Nehemiah 12:11, Jaddua is mentioned as the son of Jonathan and the great-grandson of Jeshua, the high priest who returned with Zerubbabel. The passage reads: "Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua." This lineage underscores the continuity of the priestly office and the importance of maintaining the genealogical records for the legitimacy of the priesthood. Jaddua's tenure as high priest is significant as it represents a period of consolidation and re-establishment of religious practices and temple worship after the return from exile. Although the biblical text does not provide extensive details about his actions or leadership, his inclusion in the genealogical records highlights his role in the spiritual and communal life of the Jewish people during this pivotal time.
