Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words יְהוֹ (Yehô), a shortened form of יְהוָה (Yahweh), meaning "the LORD," and צָדָק (tsadak), meaning "to be just" or "righteous." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2499: Ἰωσαδάκ (Iōsadak) • This Greek transliteration of Jehozadak is used in the Septuagint and other Greek texts to refer to the same individual, maintaining the connection between the Hebrew and Greek scriptural traditions. Usage: The name Jehozadak appears in the context of the post-exilic period of Israel's history. It is used as a proper noun, specifically as the name of a high priest. Context: Jehozadak, also spelled as Jehozadak or Josedech, is a significant figure in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. He was the son of Seraiah, the last high priest before the Babylonian exile, and the father of Jeshua (Joshua), who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Temple after the return from Babylonian captivity. Jehozadak himself did not serve as high priest in Jerusalem because he was taken into exile to Babylon along with other prominent leaders of Judah when the city fell to Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC. His lineage, however, continued the priestly line, with his son Jeshua becoming the high priest during the time of Zerubbabel, as the Jewish community began to reestablish itself in Jerusalem. The name Jehozadak is mentioned in several key passages in the Old Testament. In 1 Chronicles 6:14-15, the genealogy of the priests lists Jehozadak as the son of Seraiah. In Ezra 3:2 and Haggai 1:1, his son Jeshua is identified as "the son of Jehozadak," emphasizing the continuity of the priestly line despite the disruptions caused by the exile. Jehozadak's legacy is significant in the context of the restoration of the Jewish community and the reestablishment of the Temple worship, which was central to the identity and religious life of the people of Israel.
