In this context, Jeshua is one of the heads of the priestly divisions established by King David. The division of priests into 24 groups was a system designed to organize temple service, ensuring that the duties were shared and that the worship of God was conducted in an orderly manner. This system reflects the importance of structure and order in worship, a principle that is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in <a href="/1_corinthians/14-40.htm">1 Corinthians 14:40</a>, which emphasizes doing everything "decently and in order." The name Jeshua is a variant of Joshua, meaning "The Lord is salvation," which is significant as it points to the ultimate salvation brought by Jesus Christ, whose name in Hebrew is Yeshua.<p><b>the tenth to Shecaniah</b><br>Shecaniah is another name that appears in various contexts in the Old Testament, often associated with those who returned from the Babylonian exile. The division of Shecaniah as the tenth group highlights the continuity and faithfulness of the priestly line, even through periods of exile and return. The name Shecaniah means "The Lord dwells," which is significant in the context of temple service, as the temple was considered the dwelling place of God among His people. This concept of God dwelling with His people is fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is described in <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a> as the Word who "became flesh and dwelt among us." The division of priests, including Shecaniah's, underscores the theme of God's presence and the importance of maintaining a faithful priesthood to facilitate worship and atonement for the people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeshua.htm">Jeshua</a></b><br>A priestly figure mentioned in the division of the priestly duties.
