His name is often interpreted to mean "seed of Babylon" or "born in Babylon," reflecting his birth during the Babylonian exile. In the New Testament, he is mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus Christ, highlighting his role in the Davidic line (Matthew 1:12-13; Luke 3:27).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Zerubbabel was a leader of the Jewish people who returned from the Babylonian exile. He was appointed as the governor of Judah and played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. His leadership is chronicled in the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah. Zerubbabel's efforts to restore the temple and re-establish Jewish worship were pivotal in the reconstitution of Jewish identity and religious life after the exile.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/2216.htm">Zerubbabel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Zerubbabel, an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zerubbabel (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2216: Ζοροβαβέλ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ζοροβαβέλ</span></span>, in <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, <span class="greek2">Ζοροβαβηλος</span>, <span class="greek2">Ζοροβαβελου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, (<span class="hebrew">זְרֻבָּבֶל</span>, i. e. either for <span class="hebrew">זְרוּבָבֶל</span> dispersed in Babylonia or for <span class="hebrew">בָּבֶל</span> <span class="hebrew">זְרוּעַ </span> begotten in Babylonia), <span class="accented">Zerubbabel,</span> <span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">Zorobabel</span>, a descendant of David, the leader of the first colony of the Jews on their return from the Babylonian exile: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-12.htm">Matthew 1:12</a>;
