(Heb. Raamyah', רִעִמְיָה, Thundesr Of Jehovah; Sept. ῾Ρεελμά [v. r. Νααμία ), one of the chief Israelites who returned from exile with Zerubbabel ( Nehemiah 7:7), B.C. 445. In the parallel list ( Ezra 2:2) he is called REELAIAH, and the Greek equivalent of the name in the Sept. of Nehemiah appears to have arisen from a confusion of the two readings, unless, as Bulrrington (Geneal. ii, 68) suggests, ῾Ρεελμά is an error of the copyist for ῾Ρεελαία, the-uncial letters Ai having been mistaken for M. In 1 Esdras 5:2 the name appears as REESALAS.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [8]
rā - a - mı̄´a ( רעמיה , ra‛amyāh ; Codex Vaticanus Νααμιά , Naamiá ; Codex Alexandrinus, Ῥεελμά , Rheelmá ): One of the leading men who returned with Zerubbabel from captivity ( Nehemiah 7:7 ). In the corresponding passage in Ezra 2:2 , where the same list is named, a slight variation in form is given. "Reelaiah" is the name found in this passage. Doubtless, one is a corruption of the other. Both have the same root meaning.
