The name appears in the context of the post-exilic community, specifically within the lists of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. The name Cheluhi is found in the book of Ezra, which details the efforts to restore the Jewish community and religious practices in Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b> <br>The name Cheluhi is mentioned in <a href="/ezra/10-35.htm">Ezra 10:35</a>. This chapter of Ezra deals with the issue of intermarriage between the Israelites and the surrounding nations, which was seen as a violation of the covenantal laws given to the people of Israel. The leaders of the community, under the guidance of Ezra, sought to address this issue by calling for the separation from foreign wives to maintain the purity of the Israelite community.<br><br><b><a href="/ezra/10-35.htm">Ezra 10:35</a> :</b> <br>"Of the sons of Bani: Maadai, Amram, Uel,"<br><br>In this verse, Cheluhi is listed among the descendants of Bani who had taken foreign wives. The context suggests that Cheluhi, along with others, was part of the group that responded to Ezra's call for repentance and reform. The inclusion of Cheluhi in this list highlights the communal effort to adhere to the laws of God and restore the integrity of the Israelite identity.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b> <br>The return from exile was a significant period in Jewish history, marked by efforts to re-establish religious and social norms. The issue of intermarriage was particularly sensitive, as it was seen as a threat to the distinctiveness of the Jewish faith and culture. The leaders, including Ezra, were determined to prevent the assimilation of pagan practices and beliefs that could arise from such unions.<br><br>The genealogical records, including the mention of individuals like Cheluhi, served as a means to document the community's commitment to the covenant and to ensure the continuity of the Israelite lineage. These records were crucial for maintaining tribal identities and fulfilling the promises made to the patriarchs.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>The mention of Cheluhi in the context of repentance and reform underscores the importance of obedience to God's commandments. It reflects the broader biblical theme of returning to God and the necessity of holiness among His people. The narrative in Ezra emphasizes the need for communal and individual accountability in maintaining the covenant relationship with God.<br><br>The account of Cheluhi and others in <a href="/bsb/ezra/10.htm">Ezra 10</a> serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by the post-exilic community and their dedication to upholding the laws given to them. It highlights the ongoing struggle to balance cultural interactions with the imperative to remain faithful to God's commands.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Cheluhi's brief mention in the Bible provides insight into the post-exilic community's efforts to restore their identity and faithfulness to God. While little is known about Cheluhi as an individual, his inclusion in the genealogical records of Ezra signifies the collective commitment to repentance and adherence to the covenant.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">CHELUHI</span><p>kel'-oo-hi (keluhi, Kt.; keluhu, Qere; the Revised Version, margin Cheluhu; the King James Version Chelluh): Mentioned in the list of persons with foreign wives (<a href="/ezra/10-35.htm">Ezra 10:35</a> = 1 Esdras 9:34).<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3622.htm"><span class="l">3622.
