This phrase highlights the dedication and organization of the Levites and priests who served in the temple. The number 822 signifies a substantial group committed to maintaining the temple's operations, reflecting the importance of worship and religious duties in post-exilic Jerusalem. This dedication to temple service is reminiscent of the Levites' role in the tabernacle during the wilderness period (<a href="/numbers/3-5.htm">Numbers 3:5-10</a>). The temple was central to Jewish life, serving as the focal point for worship, sacrifice, and community gatherings. The mention of "associates" suggests a collaborative effort, emphasizing the communal aspect of worship and service.Adaiah son of Jeroham, Adaiah is identified as a leader among the temple workers, indicating a lineage of service. The name Adaiah means "Yahweh has adorned," which may reflect the family's dedication to God. Jeroham, his father, is a name that appears in various genealogies, suggesting a respected lineage. This connection underscores the importance of family heritage in religious service, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament (<a href="/1_chronicles/9-12.htm">1 Chronicles 9:12</a>).the son of Pelaliah, Pelaliah's name means "Yahweh has judged," which could imply a family history of experiencing God's justice or favor. This generational link highlights the continuity of faith and service across generations, a recurring theme in biblical narratives. The emphasis on genealogy serves to validate the legitimacy and authority of those serving in the temple.the son of Amzi, Amzi, meaning "my strength," suggests a lineage characterized by reliance on God's strength. This name may symbolize the spiritual fortitude required for temple service. The genealogical record serves to establish the credibility and divine appointment of those serving in religious roles, reflecting the importance of maintaining purity and dedication in worship practices.the son of Zechariah, Zechariah, meaning "Yahweh remembers," is a common name in the Bible, often associated with prophetic figures. This connection may imply a heritage of spiritual insight and divine communication. The mention of Zechariah in this lineage could also serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises, a theme echoed in the prophetic literature (<a href="/zechariah/1-3.htm">Zechariah 1:3</a>).the son of Pashhur, Pashhur is a name associated with priestly families, as seen in other biblical references (<a href="/jeremiah/20.htm">Jeremiah 20:1</a>). This connection reinforces the idea of a priestly lineage dedicated to temple service. The mention of Pashhur may also evoke memories of past challenges and reforms, as some Pashhurs were involved in opposition to prophetic messages, highlighting the complexity of maintaining faithfulness in leadership.the son of Malchijah; Malchijah, meaning "my king is Yahweh," underscores the family's devotion to God as their sovereign. This name reflects the theocratic nature of Israelite society, where God was recognized as the ultimate ruler. The inclusion of Malchijah in the genealogy emphasizes the importance of acknowledging God's kingship in all aspects of life, including religious service. This theme is consistent with the broader biblical narrative of God's covenant relationship with His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/adaiah.htm">Adaiah</a> A priestly figure mentioned in the lineage of those serving in the temple.
