Difference between revisions of "Jehoiarib"

<p> (Hebrew Yehô yarib', יְהוֹיָרַיב whose cause ''Jehovah Defends;'' Sept. Ι᾿ωαρείβ ''Or Ι᾿Αρείβ'' v.r. Ι᾿ωαρίμ; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:10; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 24:7 only; elsewhere, both in Heb. and A.V., the name is abbreviated to JOIARIB), a distinguished priest at Jerusalem (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:10), head of the first of the twenty-four sacerdotal "courses" (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 24:7). B.C. 1014. Of these courses, only four are mentioned as having returned from [[Babylon]] — those of Jedaiah, Immer, Pashur, and [[Harim]] (&nbsp;Ezra 2:36-39; &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:39-42); and [[Jewish]] tradition says that each of these was divided into six, so as to preserve the original number with the original names (Talm. Hieros. ''Taanith'' , ch. 4, p. 68, Colossians 1 in ed. Bomberg). This might account for our finding, at a later period, [[Mattathias]] described as of the course of Joarib (&nbsp;1 [[Maccabees]] 2:1), even though this course did not return from Babylon (Prideaux, ''Connection'' , 1, 136, 8th ed.). We find, however, that some of the descendants of Jehoiarib did return from Babylon (1 Chronicles 9:10; &nbsp;Nehemiah 11:10; (See [[Jedaiah]]) ); we find, also, that in subsequent lists other of the priestly courses are mentioned as returning, and in one of these that of Jehoiarib is expressly mentioned (&nbsp;Nehemiah 10:2-8; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:1-7), and mention is made of Mattenai as chief of the house of Joiarib in the days of [[Jeshua]] (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:19). The probability, therefore, is, that the course of Jehoiarib did go up, but at a later date, perhaps, than those four mentioned in &nbsp;Ezra 2:36-39, and &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:39-42. To the course of Joiarib Josephus tells us he belonged (Ant. 11, 6, 1; Life, § 1). (See Priest). </p>

<p> ''''' jē̇ ''''' - ''''' hoi´a ''''' - ''''' rib ''''' ( יהויריב , <i> ''''' yehōyārı̄bh ''''' </i> , "Yahweh pleads" or "contends"): A priest in Jerusalem (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 9:10 ); the name occurs again in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 24:7 as the name of a family among. the 24 courses of priests = the family Joiarib ( יויריב , <i> '''''yōyārı̄bh''''' </i> , same meaning as above, &nbsp;Nehemiah 1:2 , &nbsp;Nehemiah 1:6 ), the head of which is Matrenai in &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:19 . In &nbsp;Nehemiah 11:10 we should probably read ""Jedaiah and Joiarib" for "Jedaiah the son of Joiarib" (compare &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 9:10 ). Jehoiarib = Joarib in 1 Macc 2:1. </p>
