However, the Greek Septuagint uses the transliteration Νεεμίας (Nehemias).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name Nehemiah means "Yahweh comforts" or "comforted by Yahweh." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, most notably referring to the central figure in the Book of Nehemiah, who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls after the Babylonian exile.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Nehemiah was a Jewish leader during the Persian period, serving as cupbearer to King Artaxerxes I. His position was one of significant trust and influence, which he used to gain the king's permission to return to Jerusalem and oversee the reconstruction of its walls. This period was marked by the return of exiles and the restoration of Jewish life and worship in Jerusalem. Nehemiah's leadership was pivotal in re-establishing the Jewish community and religious practices after the exile.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
