The name appears in the book of Nehemiah, which details the efforts of Nehemiah and the Jewish people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after their return from Babylonian exile.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>The primary reference to Magpiash is found in <a href="/nehemiah/10-20.htm">Nehemiah 10:20</a>. In this passage, Magpiash is listed among the leaders of the people who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah. This covenant was a solemn agreement to follow the Law of God, as given through Moses, and to live according to its statutes and commandments. The Berean Standard Bible renders this verse as follows:<br><br>"Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir," (<a href="/nehemiah/10-20.htm">Nehemiah 10:20</a>).<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>The mention of Magpiash occurs during a significant period in Jewish history. After the Babylonian exile, the Jewish people faced the challenge of re-establishing their religious and social identity. The sealing of the covenant was a pivotal moment, as it represented a collective commitment to spiritual renewal and adherence to God's laws. This covenant included various stipulations, such as refraining from intermarriage with surrounding peoples, observing the Sabbath, and supporting the temple service.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The inclusion of Magpiash in the list of covenant signatories highlights the communal nature of the Jewish people's recommitment to God. Each name represents a family or clan leader, signifying the collective responsibility of the community to uphold the covenant. This act of sealing the covenant underscores the importance of leadership and accountability in spiritual matters.<br><br><b>Name Meaning and Etymology:</b><br><br>The name Magpiash is of uncertain etymology, and its meaning is not explicitly defined in the biblical text. However, like many biblical names, it may carry a significance related to the character or role of the individual or family within the community.<br><br><b>Role in the Community:</b><br><br>While the Bible does not provide detailed information about Magpiash's specific role or actions, his inclusion in the covenant list suggests that he was a person of some standing within the post-exilic Jewish community. As a leader, Magpiash would have been responsible for guiding his family or clan in adherence to the covenant and ensuring that they lived according to the laws and principles outlined in the agreement.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>The mention of Magpiash in the book of Nehemiah serves as a reminder of the importance of communal commitment to God's covenant. It reflects the dedication of the Jewish people to restore their relationship with God and to live in accordance with His commandments after a period of exile and separation.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Magpiash</span><p>a body thrust hard together<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Magpiash</span><p>(<i>moth-killer</i>) one of the heads of the people who signed the covenant with Nehemiah.
