His name, which means "God is the ancient one" or "God is of old," reflects a common practice of the time to incorporate the name of God (El) into personal names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>Kadmiel is primarily noted in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, which detail the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon and the subsequent rebuilding of the Temple and the walls of Jerusalem.<br><br>1. <b><a href="/ezra/2-40.htm">Ezra 2:40</a></b> · "The Levites: the descendants of Jeshua and Kadmiel (through the line of Hodaviah), 74." This verse lists Kadmiel among the Levites who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties, and Kadmiel's inclusion indicates his role in the spiritual restoration of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/nehemiah/7-43.htm">Nehemiah 7:43</a></b> · "The Levites: the descendants of Jeshua (through Kadmiel, through the line of Hodaviah), 74." This passage mirrors the account in Ezra, reaffirming Kadmiel's lineage and his participation in the return to Jerusalem.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/nehemiah/9-4.htm">Nehemiah 9:4-5</a></b> · "Then the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah—said, 'Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting: Blessed be Your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.'" Here, Kadmiel is listed among the Levites who led the people in a public confession and worship of God. This event was part of a larger covenant renewal ceremony, emphasizing the community's commitment to follow God's laws.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/nehemiah/10-9.htm">Nehemiah 10:9-10</a></b> · "The Levites: Jeshua son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel, and their associates." Kadmiel is mentioned as one of the signatories of the covenant, a solemn agreement to adhere to the Law of Moses. This covenant was a critical step in re-establishing the religious and social order of the Jewish community.<br><br><b>Role and Significance:</b><br><br>Kadmiel's role as a Levite was significant in the religious life of the post-exilic community. The Levites were responsible for assisting the priests in the Temple, teaching the Law, and leading worship. Kadmiel's involvement in the covenant renewal and his leadership in worship highlight his dedication to restoring and maintaining the spiritual integrity of the people.<br><br>His repeated mention alongside other prominent Levites suggests that Kadmiel was a respected leader within his community. His actions contributed to the re-establishment of Jewish identity and religious practice after the Babylonian exile, a period marked by efforts to return to the covenantal faithfulness that defined Israel's relationship with God.<br><br>Kadmiel's legacy, as recorded in the biblical texts, serves as a testament to the importance of faithful leadership and the role of the Levites in guiding the people back to a life centered on God's commandments. His account is a reminder of the enduring significance of worship, confession, and covenant in the life of God's people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Kadmiel</span><p>God of antiquity; God of rising<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Kadmiel</span><p>(<i>before God</i>), one of the Levites who with his family returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel.
