He is noted for his role during the period of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls after the Babylonian exile. The name "Hallohesh" is of Hebrew origin, and while its exact meaning is uncertain, it is often associated with the idea of "whisperer" or "enchanter."<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/nehemiah/3-12.htm">Nehemiah 3:12</a></b> · Hallohesh is mentioned in the context of the reconstruction of Jerusalem's walls. The verse states: "And next to him Shallum son of Hallohesh, ruler of a half-district of Jerusalem, made repairs, he and his daughters." This passage highlights Hallohesh's familial connection to Shallum, who was actively involved in the rebuilding efforts. The mention of Shallum's daughters participating in the construction work is notable, as it underscores the communal and inclusive nature of the project, involving both men and women in the restoration of the city.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/nehemiah/10-24.htm">Nehemiah 10:24</a></b> · Hallohesh is also listed among the leaders who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah. The verse reads: "Hallohesh, Pilha, Shobek," indicating his role as a signatory to the covenant. This act of sealing the covenant was a significant moment in the re-establishment of the Jewish community's commitment to follow God's laws and commandments after their return from exile.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context:</b><br><br>The period of Nehemiah is a critical time in Jewish history, marked by the return of the exiles from Babylon and the subsequent efforts to restore Jerusalem both physically and spiritually. Hallohesh's involvement, through his son Shallum, in the rebuilding of the walls signifies the collective effort of the Jewish people to reclaim their heritage and fortify their city against external threats. The participation of Shallum's daughters in the construction work is a testament to the breaking of traditional gender roles in times of communal necessity.<br><br>The sealing of the covenant, in which Hallohesh participated, represents a renewal of faith and dedication to the Mosaic Law. This covenant was a reaffirmation of the Jewish identity and a commitment to live according to the statutes given by God. Hallohesh's inclusion among the leaders who sealed the covenant indicates his standing and influence within the community.<br><br><b>Significance:</b><br><br>Hallohesh, though not extensively detailed in the biblical narrative, plays a part in the larger account of Israel's restoration. His mention in the context of both the physical rebuilding of Jerusalem and the spiritual renewal of the covenant highlights the dual focus of Nehemiah's mission. Hallohesh's legacy, through his son and the covenant, reflects the importance of leadership and commitment to God's purposes during a pivotal era in biblical history.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hallohesh</span><p>(<i>enchanter</i>), one of the chief of the people who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah.
