It is important to note that Jeshua is also a common name in the Old Testament, often associated with the high priest who returned with Zerubbabel. However, in this context, it refers to a geographical location. The name Jeshua means "salvation," which can be seen as a foreshadowing of the ultimate salvation brought by Jesus Christ. The resettlement of Jeshua signifies the restoration of the land and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.<p><b>Moladah</b><br>Moladah is a town in the southern part of Judah, near the Negev desert. It is mentioned in the allotment of the tribe of Simeon in <a href="/joshua/15-26.htm">Joshua 15:26 and 19</a>:2. The town's inclusion in the list of resettled areas highlights the restoration of the land to its original tribal allocations. Archaeological evidence suggests that Moladah was an important settlement during various periods, including the time of Nehemiah. The restoration of Moladah signifies the reestablishment of the community and the continuity of God's covenant with Israel.<p><b>and Beth-pelet</b><br>Beth-pelet, also known as Beth-palet, is another town in the southern region of Judah. It is listed among the cities of the tribe of Simeon in <a href="/joshua/15-27.htm">Joshua 15:27</a>. The name Beth-pelet means "house of escape" or "house of deliverance," which can be seen as symbolic of God's deliverance of His people from exile. The mention of Beth-pelet in <a href="/nehemiah/11-26.htm">Nehemiah 11:26</a> underscores the theme of restoration and the fulfillment of God's promises to bring His people back to their land. This restoration is a precursor to the ultimate deliverance and restoration found in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeshua.htm">Jeshua</a></b><br>A location in the southern part of Judah. It is one of the towns where the people of Judah settled after returning from the Babylonian exile.
