Description
Who was Jedaiah?
Jedaiah is mentioned in Zec.6.10 and Zec.6.14 as one of the returned exiles who provided silver and gold for the crowns that were to be placed on the head of Joshua, the high priest. In a symbolic act, Zechariah was instructed to take silver and gold from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who had recently arrived from Babylon. The prophet was to make crowns from the precious metals and set them on Joshua's head, signifying the coming of the Branch (the Messiah) who would build the temple of the Lord and rule as both priest and king. The crowns were to be kept in the temple as a memorial to Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah. This prophetic act emphasizes the importance of the priesthood and the anticipation of the Messiah's coming, who would fulfill the roles of both priest and king.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
Places
Where this happens
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
